making an ID...question

Postby magicmonkey » Sep 8th, '06, 11:44



Hi,
mods please delete if exposing, however I would like to check something before I wreck a pack of cards. I will be as careful as possible.
Please reply in pm if your responces are bordering on exposure.

I am making up an ID.
I ordered R******* S****.
I was sent Dull cote Flat laquer overcoat spray.
Same stuff?
gives same results?

Before I get flamed, I do own a bought ID, I just wanted to apply this to ghosts and tigers etc but keep the cost down.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me

not a fan of sigs, so I won't bother adding o..... oh

When you order roughing spray that's generally what you get. I think that matt lacquer has become synonymous with 'roughing spray'. I (and many others) would recommend roughing fluid over spray every time though. But, having said that, I decided long ago that making IDs was just not worth the time or hassle and that the cost of a dealer-made one is money well spent.

cheers charles.
I was just going to buy them, but I am getting a fair few different decks now and I guess it's more versatile if I can make my own decks consistently so I can have a matching ID for each deck, even if they don't make them at suppliers.

I agree with Charles in that it's not worth the time in making one up with a red or blue deck. However, I've made a few with Tigers, Ghosts and green back decks where they;re either much more expensive or you can't buy them anyway (green & black backed Bikes exspecially).

My own preferred method is to spray rather than using fluid but you do need a well ventilated space and lots of newspaper (and no wind if you;re doing it in the garden :lol: )

THis is one of those topics where everyone will have a different method etc. :lol:
