drinking bong water is nasty. it takes all the crap from the smoke and filters it through the water and to drink all the crap is nasty. my frieds bong want chaged for a month and it turned into a pile of sludge.

go to the first page of this thread and it will take you to stencilpunks. that should clear it up for you.
Thank you.

I would like to soundproof a room in my house. Is it true that covering the wall in egg cartons will make the room soundproof?

In a way. They use eggbox shaped foam to keep sound from echoing in recording studios. If you have paper-thin walls, it'll keep your moans of masturbatory pleasure from echoing around the house more than a few times. So that won't work very well, though I don't know what will, I am just kinda pissing on your bonfire, sorry.

I'm in the process of making a shirt. For something new, I want to use a glue stick to glue my stencil to the shirt instead of just taping the outside. Would it damage my shirt at all?

It may leave a stain. Why glue when you have perfectly good duct tape?

[Iron Bug]

I dont think glue comes out very easily. Safety pin it, the holes dont really show.

That's how I do it. Just put a good amount on, but try not to get a bunch of big clumps, then drop a big book on it to keep it all down. Works great, and if there's any glue still on there, it'll wash off.

Ever tried to get duct tape residue off a shirt?

I remember when Johnny Ramone died, I wore my Ramones shirt with a duct tape strip on it reading "RIP Johnny" and at the end of the day I took it off, and there was this huge strip of residue left. I think it was mainly because I had a bad roll of duct tape, but you never know when that **** is going to stay. Was a bitch getting it out with Goo Gone and repeated washings.

[coheneran]

Fine, masking tape.

Glue stick has never failed me.

I was bored yesterday and made a minor threat patch. I don't know if this is exactly how I want it to be just yet. Should I ad more detail? Can you recognize it as what it's supposed to be? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/minorthreat.jpg

Here was my practice as a patch. Not sure if I'll actually take the effort to make it a patch.

Its the Minor Threat cover, it looks great.

[coheneran]

It's good. If you know what it is, you see it straight away, but at first casual glance can't make it out. Add detail to the surrounding so you can see the thing in the middle is a dude. :thumb:

I haven't done anything DIY in a long time. I gave up after I ran out of room on my jacket and vest and the fact I suck at doing anything else.

I typically stick my stencils to the fabri with a spray adhesive. Spray it, let it dry just a bit, then ley it down and press around the edges. Works excellently and leaves no residue.

It is, but it's one that's messed up for many many reasons. I have a good one done, though.

[asdf]

^ here's the mr. bungle patch I made that actually worked:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/P1010107.jpgI was DIY as a 7 year old when I made paper action figures.
Yeah, back when I was a kid I made figutes out of tin foil. I also used to take broken toys and glue them together to make art sculptures.

My newest patch design:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/kaizersorchestra.jpg

So I'm very excited right now. I've recently been thinking about how I wish I had some place where I could paint all my stencils on to. I'd do it in my room, but my walls are allready art in there (red with splatter paint... I Don't want to paint over that). I was telling my dad about that, and he said that I could go ahead and do that to the unfinished walls in the basement. All he has to do is fill in where the nails are, and I can start painting.I'd never do real graffiti (I've gotten in trouble for it, but have never done it. Go figure), but I want to spray paint my stencils. This would be perfect.

I had just been lazy at the time, and not sure if I'm keeping them or not, so I went with something less permanent :thumb:

I'll more than likely keep the Chaos U.K. patch, so I'll sew that eventually, but I'm not too sure about the Clockwork Orange one.

Yeah, kids around here do that US post office free sticker thing. The thing is, they will eventually fade/come off when they're stuck outside.

Sure, stenciling places is easy as hell.

The thing is, I got in trouble for graffiti, and I've never done any in my life. I just happend to be with someone who had paint markers, and those US post office stickers, and we just happend to be walking out of an abandon building. Oops.

Bomb The Music Industry! hoodie I made today

[Lukeh]

That's so awesome, and so much better than my boring attempt, which was essentially a straight copy of Jeff Rosenstock's tee. (but with a ball point pen instead of a sloppy spray job)

You're officially my DIY idol until further notice!

[Jas]

Haha, I gotta have a go at spray painting a shirt, I wanna have a kosher BTMI! shirt like they make at shows. Although I want something a little more permanent than spray paint, so I'm thinking of trying with an air brush + fabric paint. Hmmm, I will let you know how that goes if I try it! At the moment I'm waiting for a layer of paint to dry on a BOTAR hoodie I'm making (yay for £4 black hoodies from Tescos).

[Lukeh]

Yeah, spray painted ones last quite a few washes when they're turned inside out in the machine on a light wash and give a cool, faded effect over time, suprisingly. Argh, my parents won't let me buy spray paint since they overheard me joking with my friend about using stencils to spray all over town, so I'm buying fabric paint off the net and borrowing my friend's "t-shirt pens" (basically fabric paint pens)...

Wooaahh that's crazily cheap, as much as I hate Tesco I may just have to invest in a few of those, compared to the stupid £15 ones in my little town...

[Vietnow]

[coheneran]

You would have to get them lined up perfectly. You'd need to measure and cut in the right places in a very precise line, and then sew the zips on with a sewing machine. What'd be easier is cutting off the sleeves of a cheap shirt, making about five flaps to overlap at the shoulder and sew them onto the sleeves, and then hook them on or take them off with safety pins. I think safety pins are the most important part of DIY punk these days. I never leave the house without a few pins in various sizes. If I was a 30's American gangster, I'd be called Safety Pin.

I confess I don't actually know how to make it, but I know someone who used to make her own by the bottlefuls. I think it's mostly about cooking tea tree leaves/flowers/buds/whatever in water until it turns into a paste, then mixing in some water for the consistency etc..

Buttons? You mean badges? The ones which are usually round and have a slogan or band on them and a safety pin inside to hook onto something? Yeah, those machines cost about 60-100 quid, I looked into it once. Or 30-50 quid for the really shi'tty ones. It's a hell of an investment, if you're going to see it through though. Here, you can sell badges in Camden Town for 50p each, so if you have decent badges you can usually make what you spent within a week or so.

Fauxhawks are when people (only douche bags do this. They usually wear pink shirts with a popped collar.) gel their hair into a mohawk shape, without actually trimming any of their hair. They just push it all in the middle. Totally ghey.

And, I think Mohican might actually be the correct term for "pohawk". I like pohawk better though.

[whatohwellwhatever]

I tried making perfume like they did back in hell knows when by boiling rose petals. It was a nasty disgusting mess so I think I am not too good at it.

And, I think Mohican might actually be the correct term for "pohawk". I like pohawk better though.
Haha. That discription is so well...

Some of my friends dress like that :upset: So not punX

It's common to see fauxhawks in urban areas, and especially in night clubs. It's a popular urbanite apple-using hipster 'do.

What I do for DIY'ing is I get an A3 piece of paper (perfect size for t-shirt) and draw something that's going to look good in just black and white ie. my op. ivy t-shirt. Then I cut it out, place the paper on top of the t-shirt and paint on the image (with fabric or permanent paint). The only downside is the time it takes to cut out the image but it decreases chances of fu<king up

The stencils I make are with paper card or cardboard, though cardboard is really hard to cut details through, even with my trusty exacto-k-nyfe.

Invest in an exactoknife. They're like 2 quid (£1.99) from craft shops and they are incredible. They work so well. Make sure you don't buy a stanley knife though. They look similar, but exactoknifes are slimmer.

[Biscuit_box]

I'll look for one! I hate using the ordinary knife. The most annoying thing is when the paint bleeds! I don't stick the paper down in any way. I just place it on it and go for it. It usually comes out really good

Exacto knives are cool, especially if you get the kits with all the bits and bobs in. Stolen Sharpie Revolution and every DIY article from America I've ever read, absolutely bums exacto knives. However I don't have one.

I just use a trusty craft knife with snap off blades if there's little detail, but most often (cus I do a lot of detailed work) I use a scalpel. They're amazing and I got a box of replacement blades and since I've been doing DIY I never needed to change the blade until about 2 days ago. Scalpels are awesome!

where i come from wa'nkers call them "modified mohawks" i call them "ghey haircuts"
Where i come from we have this brand "industrie" i dont know if its a worldwide brand, but all those guys wear their tight pink poloshirts with the back of the collar up and tight (but not emotight) jeans. I have a tendency to spitball easyway pearls at these people.

I told you they wear the popped collar pink shirts. It's overly cliche. If it's not the popped pink collar shirt, it's whatever the current trendy pop-punk band is.

[skavid]

Ok, heres a question. What is a good fabric paint for making shirts? I want one that will not come off or fade after a couple washes. Thanks.

I use acrylic mixed with fabric medium, and it doesn't fade too much. Or you could get this stuff called "supercoat" fabric paint. It works a little better than the fabric medium/acrylic mixture, but for like about four times the price.

[El Punko]

About how much would either cost?

[skavid]

About how much would either cost?

A large bottle of acrylic should cost about 2-3 dollars, and the fabric medium is like 2 dollars for a medium sized bottle. A tub of supercoat is like $20, and you can only get it, if you're lucky, from craft stores, or you could always look on the internet.

[El Punko]

Ill give the mixing idea a shot, thanks very much.

So I'm thinking of building a tall bike.

I've always had a passion for bikes, and a few years ago I used to get garbaged ones, fix them up and sell them/give them to neighbor kids. I've allready tried builing a weird mutant bike out of neighbor kid's old bike parts, and it was really cool. Too bad it got stolen the very same day I made it.

So basically, at this point I own one bike frame, and may have access to another bike. If I really persue this, I'll update on my progress.

[El Punko]

DIY definition:
What exactly does apolitical mean?

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Apolitical is non-political, like how early Meteors psychobilly shows were politics free zones.

[El Punko]

So if I say that I do not believe in government, would that be Apolitical because no government=no politics or not because it involves a view of the government?

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Not the way I understand it. I describe myself as apolitical because I don't really believe in any kind of political system (including anarchy) and I don't support any kind of government. However, I'm growing out of this and more into a freak power kinda guy.

[Brain Toad]

DIY definition:
What exactly does apolitical mean?

apolitical the words means what the Ian Curtis lover says it is

A//Political the band doesn't mean that, as I've seen A// as a sub for the regular anarchy symbol.

Feel free to use it, Rise Me Up, or anyone else.
That's the one. That first one's good. It's probably the one Brad's looking for.

What kind of paint should I buy to paint the soles of my shoes?

Tartan paint. And you should buy some rubber nails and a glass hammer as well. Oh, and a skirting board ladder. WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANT TO PAINT THE SOLES?!

Where/why do I get those? I don't really know why I want to paint the soles, it just kind of occurred to me and I thought it seems cool.

[RudeBoyStompin]

Look in this thread, nearly everyone who makes patches or shirts has to do a Crass one.

I made a Crass shirt. I don't really like it as much anymore because it's all letters. It was early in my stenciling career. And I don't like Crass quite as much as I did before.

It will rub/flake/dirty up quickly, and no one would see it anyway, unless you are an out-of-work acrobat who specialises at walking on his hands. Those suggestions I said to buy were jokes. Tartan is a pattern of colours aranged in lines like you get on Scottish kilts, you can't get tartan paint in a can, because it's made up of three different colours. And what are rubber nails gonna nail? And a glass hammer? C'mon dude, pay attention.

Sorry, I is stupid. I didn't know what tartan is, i thought you meant special nails for hammering them through soles, and by the time I got to glass hammer I was just too confused.

Anyway, I know it probably won't work that good, but for some reason I just like the idea of Fugazi or Bad Brains on the soles of my shoes. I really don't know why, lol. So I guess basically I'm looking for the most durable paint so it won't rub off.

It WILL get scuffed and covered up in dirt. I draw on my boots. It is fnu (fnu = dyslexic fun).

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

I suppose. And I just thought about problems with walking on carpet. Do you think regular spraypaint would work on the sides of my shoes? They're chucks (I know, I know, but they're leopard print so it's an even trade). I'm going to stencil that Bad Brains logo on stencil punx onto it.

It'll work, just don't go wading through any puddles filled with washing powder.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Cool. Anything in particular that would work better? I live near a paint store.

thing about this band (for me) is... do they really have any material that sets them apart from CV/LOC?
In my mind, they're really nothing more than a clone (insert Riot/Clone pun).
If you've got any materieal that might sway me I'm more than willing to listen to it, but as of right now - it has been done better and before. (the same could be said for 99% of the bands in my collection, but this comparison stands out for an as yet undefined reason.)

EDIT:
just realizing the topic of this thread, I have this to offer:

4+ hours boiled rice can be made into a paste that can be used to hold your hairstyle in place.

Why waste delicious rice on your hair if you can eat it?!

[Anarcho Poser]

I hate rice. It's so bland. I only eat it with taco bell sauce in it.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Better hair paste is starch + sugar in water. Then iron the style, works especially well on mohawks. But seeing as I'm a new-wave gayboy, I use hairspray.

What if you're Chinese (like Kevin) and have nothing but rice, and no hairgel?

I'm sorry Kevin, I am trying to stop.
