UPDATE: Waiting for contact paper to arrive and purchased one can of satin clear spray paint (thought I'd try that finish out…why not?!?) Still waiting on the pommel from tcss to be completed.

contact paper was a bust for several reasons.…on to the next idea  Not so sure about the satin clearcoat but I'll see what the morning brings on the tested areas from today. Win some…Lose some  |

First, thanks! The weathering is mostly for display. However, I'll probably get use out of it too as it's my only saber to date. It's more just to try and make this sber more of my own. |

Gotcha- all good and understood. I’m just curious because on my recent first weathering job, i used all sandpaper because i was afraid the regular use would wear off any drybrushing. Let me know how it holds up!🤙🏻 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Can always hit the finished saber with a dullcoat to protect your work |

Just my opinion, I like the results of the sandpaper more than the drybrushing at this point. It was necessary on the 3D printed shroud as it was plastic. The satin clear ended up ok but I think I would go with a flat clear next time. More shall be revealed... |

Update 2: Well, not only was the contact paper a bust..  ..now the TCSS pommel that I had powder-coated is a bust as well..  ..the thing is just too dadgum big for the hilt as I had feared. That was a waste of $$. SO....anyone want a TCSS pommel, insert and O-Ring? |
