Hi guys...
Im a bit disappointed... I got the attraction and i was testing it on plastic tips. The problem? MILLLIONS OF BUBBLES!!!especially the clear one that i use all the time... I never had problems with bubbles before so its really surpising to me
First i'll explain what i did so u can draw your conclusions:
I was making sure i was releasing all the bubbles from my brush when dipping in monomer and i wippe 2ice on my dappen dish, then dipped the flag of my brush for about 2 seconds in the powder and lifted and watched the bead: It had a rough surface and lots of dry parts all over and it takes more than 3 seconds to absorb the liquid. So i placed it on the tip, and a nice pearl-like ball was formed (so far so good i thought) but the problem starts when i start patting... the more i patted the more bubbles! What on earth im i doing wrong????? Just to make sure, it tried mixing the monomer with the Classic and Competition powders and it was fine...
My guess is that im doing something wrong with my mix ratio. Im used to the 2:1 ratio but with this system its supposed to be 1:1 (meaning drier). Please tell me in detail a few tricks on how to drain my brush in order to hold the correct liquid and also if im supposed to dip or drag in my powder and things like that...
Any help is greatly appreciated
