I dunno, I always had good luck and the wax always stayed on real well.

As far as good widths, experiment and try different things. That's the best way to learn. Try needles and shit.

went through a month-long period where i got too lazy to get caps....stocks ain't so bad




Think about it, you have writers learning the ins and outs of entire transport systems, risking serious injury even death, arrest and criminal records that would limit your opportunities for the rest of your life, for what? To simply paint a picture, does this seem logical to you? If the answer is no then it is most likely that you don’t fathom the idealism behind graffiti.

stocks aint so bad. but i like fatcaps for bombing and such.. every cap has it's use.. i racked a german flatcap today (yes FLAT it's a fantip.. get it from 3M adhesive) and i've got a german black dot which is super clean a while ago (505 fabric adhesive) it's all good i love rusto fats 'cause theyre sup[er easy to find.. and i hear of rusto blue dots out there somewhere and i'm trying to find them too..

but a lot of the time i'm too lazy to rack tips so i cut stoccks and shit to make my own fatcaps and whatnot.. it's all good. if i want a fatcap to save time on a rooftop or sumthin, i'm not gonna take the time to use a stock thin from krylon 'cause every second counts.. you'd know wthat manilla.

yea but then again if u cant write with STOCKS.. you cant really truely WRITE....

stocks are the truth.. an if u back away frum tha wall.. you can get a "quicker fill" with most stocks...

then again it matters wat paint ur usin.. cuz the thickness and the actuall stock itself .. changes all that.. but anyway

i like throwing a fatap on my fill cans. especially lately when i've been hitting trucks and ish.. thins just arent practical for high profile bombing when your bomb is 6 feet tal and 8 feet wide and you want it done NOW.

If you back away, you get less paint on the wall. So you may need more 'coats' to get a wall covered, but yeah, i can see what you are saying. Solution: Caps! If you keep racking em, even if you dont need em, you get a stock pile like i have I have fats galore over here!

I ussually just find mine...
I gaurantee around ur house you have got about 20 caps.
On polish and wd40 and shit.
Rip em off shuv em on a can.
Or if you got some cash go to artcrimes.com and order the multipack of capos.






PEACE

I find a wall get some paint go and express myself,
I not gonna do drugs this time, No i'll be smart,
This time when i break the law, may aswell do some art."
