[QUOTE=TheNowhereman42]I posted links to that kindof stuff a coupel links up.

and to the annoying poster with liberty spikes. one word. Soap.[/QUOTE]

When I spike my hair I use soap but my hair is real bushy and kinda curly so sometimes after a show it looks lke my head exploded.

worked well on my hair. I used to have 7 inch spikes.

But mines pretty straight, I get mistaken for Asian alot.

If I was going to use leather paint to stencil something onto my jacket, is there anything else I would need to do? Would I need primer or finish or anything like that?

i would make just a square stencil as big as your other one, and spray it with primer

how do you guys make demo tapes and cds?

our band tapes it with two microphones on a tape deck, and then we stream it into mp3s, any other methods?

we use a microphone and record onto my mates dads laptop

Go back a few pages, it's been said numerous times in here.

What's the best way to put studs on a jean jacket?

Push them through with your hand, and use a knife or other flat metal object to bend the prongs. You can also buy an awl from studsandspikes.com: [url]http://www.studsandspikes.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=57_74&products_id=398[/url]

Perfect, thanks toad.

A dart works like magic. I just studded me jacket theres like 350 on it.

Dart = Good Idea
 

That's a good idea. I don't have that many studs though I just use the ones that fall off my belt from time to time haha. I'm looking for a place to either purchase them or wait for enough to fall off my belt.

I buy mine from [url]http://www.angryyoungandpoor.com[/url] but studsandspikes is also good.

I steal those crappy 3-row bonded leather belts and then just pull all the studs off with needle-nosed pliars, which also work well to put them on shi[i][b][/i][/b]t.

Two more questions, sort of similar to my first.
Does spray paint work on leather, or should I not be a cheap bastard and go buy some leather paint?
Is there an easy way to put patches on leather? I imagine sewing something onto leather would be a pain..

sewing machines work

Really? It seems like the leather's so thick it would [color=white]f[/color]uck up the needle.

[QUOTE=honkybrewster]Really? It seems like the leather's so thick it would [color=white]f[/color]uck up the needle.[/QUOTE]

it worked on mine but it went pretty slow on some parts
beats hand sewing

it works, i know someone who painted his jacket with spray, but the paint might crack off after a while.

Also, pretty much any cheap *** pocket knife you buy will also come with an awl or a leather punch.

I used those paint markers you can find in the crafts section at Wal-Mart, and it chipped off pretty badly after just one show. Is there a better type of paint marker for this?
