Between loveshine, candy glow and candy glaze i find it hard to choose. i know none of them mast that long but i was wondering which one, according to you, has the best wear time. I guess it also depends on the shade range between the releases as things pull orange on me fairly quickly and i tend to go for pinkey mauveys a lot or muted pinks (lipstick shades i love for example are pat mcgrath in shade nude romantique and if blotted and applied lightly: night kiss. sitting pretty by mac and modesty is a fun mix too for me)

which release do you think has the best wear time and what shades would you recommend? I guess the grippiest formula would be the bestw but i see mixed opinions regarding all this for the 3 releases.

Heya

i'm partial to the waterbased panel liners as they just remove the need to check what plastic it is/gloss coating before panel lining. What i am not sure about is what coating is best. I use the stedi panel liner. as i understand, regardless of what coating i use, due to it being water based i have to apply 1 to 3 very light mist coats first before going in with a proper wet coat, correct?

thanks in advance!

Hi peeps!

I understand the concept of topcoating and have done ut with painted projects but i have to admit...i hate it.

I live in belgium and here you can't really topcoat unless it's spring or winter. in autumn or winter the humidity tends to be too high and the temperaturss too low. what would you guys recommend for this? Is there a different medium or way to topcoat? i want to panel line and decal but both the vost and especially the circumstances and technique on smaller items for topcoating are very much scaring me off.

i've heard of modge podge and water but that isn't durablle enough. i plan on panel lining with a mix of acryllic paint, water and a drop of dish soap

Thinking of reshelling my ags 101 and putting a fresh battery in it, but I hear mixed reviews on the extremerate shells, going from weka hinges to parts not fitting...my ags 101's shell is scratched to hell and back, but I'd rather not risk it if the quality is subpar.

What kind of experience do you guys have with their shells, especially the super Famicom one?

Thank you in advance!

hi guys

like a lot of others, I'm going to switch to gdemu for my "main" dreamcast. I ordered a spare dreamcast for parts, of which the dik'sk drive didn't seem to be working. I did want to rule out if it truly was dead (you never know when you may need a part for whatever reason on whatever project) and in doing so tried multiple different things. my mistake there was I had to turn the console on and off a few times in the span of 1 or 2 minutes.

after that, controller input was not being registered for a bit. I turned off the power source and unplugged the console. after 10 mins, controller input was back to perfect.

I've got 2 questions about this:

1. I'm new to this, but am I correct to presume this is related to the controller board's fuse starting to wear out and that replacing it fixed the issue it experienced?

2. I'm switching to gdemu on my main dreamcast and thunderdream psu soon. (and I also plan on a battery mod, and recap and new fuse for the controller board), is this spare dreamcast described above still a good console to keep as a donor for the controller board and other technological parts?

thank you in advance!

Looking to get a yarn swift and whoopdeedoo there are so many options! if schacht's ultra yarn swift didn't cost so much i'd get that one, but it seems my options are limited to knitpro (as i wqnt one with a crank on top).

​

and now i wonder...natural or signature? is there1 noticeable difference in performance? i prefer the natural's look but if the signature performs better/is noticeably of better quality, then i know to get hat one or maybe there's another one that's even better?

​

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I used to be able to find grundl lisa premium uni in book stores here but now they only sell grundl's cotton yarn there. vbshobby.be no longer sells it either anymore. webshops still sell it but since i now have to go looking more im on the lookout for a other brand of acryllic yarn that also has lots of colours since i make amigurumi.

what does everyone else use? i liked grundl bc it was under 2 euros.

I absolutely love scheepjes catona yarn and i allllways use it. However, their black yarn in this line is always super stiff. Normally their skeins are nice and soft, but these are always stiff to the point it's difficult to crochet with.

Whar are your favourite methods of softening yarn like this and drying it?

Personally i was thinking lukewarm water, maybe some fabric softener, soak it for a bit and then dry in big loops.
