altering caps

madwakfreek · **altering caps -** 09-11-2003, 10:48 PM

ok.. we dont have one of these ones yet so i made this thread so we can share our tipos to madifying tips

1. super thin from stock
take a lighter (preferrably a propane torch) and heat up the dot untill it's melting a little bit. dont heat it too much or it'll close over too much. next, push the dot a little (carefil it's hot) IF YOU GET IT RIGHT, THE HOLE WILL CLOSE UP AND MAKE A DECENT SUPER THIN.. you may be able to use this method to make fat caps too if you can do it right

2. take a seringe needle from your local junkie or diabetic, break the needle off in the hole of the tip, make shure theres a little room for the paint to flow and super glue the needle in place. you should get a good thin tip

3. IF YOUR CANS ARE TOO HIGH IN PREASSURE, put a TINY peice of toothpick in the stem of the cap. dont block it completely, you need the paint to flow. this SHOULD slow the flow of paint if done properly.. ba careful tho you can ruin caps easily doin this. this SHOULD make it so YUO CAN WRITE SLOWER AND AVOID DRIPS

anyone got tips for making fatcaps from stocks??

1)take a needle (for clothing)and a lighter

2)heat up needle end (the pointy end) and heat it up

3)aim and stick it into the dot in the cap, STRAIGHT in. Only a little though, or it will open it up too much.

Experiemnt, different pins have different diameters, therefore changing the size of the flow, making different sized caps

i dunno if you guyz in america have like the same cans as us but we have canz with horozontal and vertical tips. I find if you turn the tip to a horotontal position u get a nice fat spray .... excelent for filling in or tagz

and on deoderant cans. I use lynx but when ya done with em take the cap off them and chuck it on ya can and ya get a nice even 2 inch spray

Where you from man? Cause krylon's here in Canada don't have fan tips... but ya.. that blows that all ya gots is fans... but anyway.

What is lynx... cause I wanna check it out... and is it female or male?

iomek · 09-12-2003, 03:14 AM

lynx is a deodrant and the caps on it are female

Pop out the round part of the cap and fill it with hot candle wax whilst holding a pin or a pencil in the hole. You get different hole sizes and can make your own custom caps that you couldn't get in stores otherwise.

but does the wax really stick to the cap? usually wax falls offa plastic does it not?

AnTiK · 01:52 AM

by melting the wax, isnt that the same way as melting the tip but not perminant?

oh and what diameter needle would you use to make a nice fine tip?
