[did-you-know]

A painter in Los Angeles kept missing his exit for the I-5 on the 110 highway, so he did his research, climbed up the overhead sign, and changed it himself without anyone noticing.

This is Richard Ankrom. He couldn’t find his damn exit, cuz it wasn’t properly labelled.  

So he took life by the balls, like any self-respecting Californian would do, and used his sign-painting expertise to fix it himself.

He called it ‘guerilla public service.’ Even got himself an outfit to look official. It worked, obvi.

Caltrans investigated, but the sign was actually up to code. They left it there for 8 years before they made an updated sign.

How the hell do you get so precise with got glue?

You mean hot glue?

I’ve had about 7 years of experience using hot glue as a detailing tool, so thats one thing. 

Honestly I could write a book of tricks with hot glue. 

But the key things Ive learned are…

-Let your gun sit for about 40 minutes before use. GET THAT SHIT HOT, the hotter the gun, the smoother and less clumpy the glue. 

-METAL NOZZLES ONLY. Like this:

NONE OF THAT PLASTIC CONE OF SAFETY BULLSHIT

CRAP.- Get gluesticks that are REALLY long. Dont get the mini shorts unless you have too. It saves you from getting that little gap of time where the glue stick cant be pushed anymore, and ends up pumping out dollops of a mess.  AND ALWAYS have one on hand, so when that does happens you can immediately push it along. 

-IGNORE THE LITTLE STRINGIE THINGS. Ignore them. Do all your detailing, riding, rivets, what have you. Let the strings happen. They will happen, let them. When your done and it all dries, just dab some duck tape or roll your hand or a brush over the detailing and pick up all the strings. They will just snap off. 

-WHEN YOU FUCK UP KEEP GOING. Line got too fat? Leaked over the edge? JUST KEEP GOING! Nothing you can do when the glue is still hot. Just let it dry. Honestly. The whole of your line or detail is more important than the fuck up. AND AFTER IT DRIES, just use an Xacto to go back and cut off the fuck up. Either cut it down to size or cut it off completely and redo that little area. 

-To make your edges look welded instead of all puffy or raised, while your glue is still hot take another stick and smear it through against the creases. Do another line and smear again. Bam, glued together and when its painted it looks like welded armor. 

-Faster is better. Taking your time means your squeezing slower, so the glue comes out slower. It dries pretty fast on itself, so it clumps as it goes down like that, making that rainwater effect. If you want smooth raising lines you gotta go fast! GO FAST! My trick is to lay down a scrap piece of cardboard or foam and squeeze out some practice lines like you would a paintbrush. Swipe a few time on the cardboard, swipe the armor. Back and forth, back and forth. It keeps the glue flowin. 

HAPPY HOT GLUING!
