What do you do about avoiding the aglets? I'm trying to keep those from getting the same color. It needs to stay as black aglets, yellow cord so I got rit dye powder which is the safest one I use. I used a type of mix to make paint into fabric paint. How long does that solution stay viable from 2020 purchase? Sorry, I used it for a jean jacket back then. But this is just a smaller sewing project. It is impossible to find this type of color lace to aglet ratio. So, making my own.

No unfoauntely after you’ve already dyed/painting something and it’s a little thick there’s not much you can do... you potentially didn’t strain them enough so there was too much paint, or not heat setting for long enough would be some potential errors I’ve made in the past

DeJesus Custom Footwear okay thanks man and keep up the good work I like what your doing. Happy New Years. If you have any good advice on painting soles, a video would be nice. I know your not supposed to but you know there’s people out there that say what works and what doesn’t and I’m sure you got some good knowledge on it. The only thing Ive ever known that works is Raleigh scratch resistant sealer but, I think a video of that would be useful to upcoming shoe customizers. It’s something you HAVE to be able to perfect because there’s always gonna be a time where you need to paint a sole and you don’t want that cracking.

@DeJesusCustomFootwear 4 года назад

Not only the drying but the heating! We talk about in this vid but probably 30 second spurts of heat on and off over a period of a couple hours, they require tons of heat
