Is it safe to paint batteries?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Kimric Smythe Apr 30. 2 Replies 0 Likes

I know there's about a million sources of cheap goggles for the making over, but what about lenses? If I want specific colored lenses, is it possible to tint them myself while still leaving them…Continue

Bayley G commented on Galakiir Alearretyn's group Cleveland Zeppelin Union"I shall begin talking my group into attending the ren faire immediately! "
Kimric Smythe replied to Bayley G's discussion Is it safe to paint batteries?"Should be no problem. Pretty much the worst thing that could happen would be that the contact points on the end got insulated by the paint. Cut little dots of tape and put them on the ends, and remove them when the paint is dry."
Mr English replied to Bayley G's discussion Is it safe to paint batteries?"Painting the SIDES of the batteries (not the connections) should be okay. Maybe, oh, I dunno, brass color? :-)

Shahbanoo Pantea replied to Bayley G's discussion Coat sleeves -- why this shape?"All men's coats seem to have that. I have a frock coat pattern by Laughing Moon that does that, and it's period correct, as far as I can tell. It probably has to do with the fact men's garments are tailored, and historically,…"
Mr English replied to Bayley G's discussion Coat sleeves -- why this shape?"Oh, look, it's 4 AM, and I've read something wrong. It's the COAT sleeve! Ah, very different, NOW my shot in the dark guess is maybe the very end of the sleeve is supposed to fold back and button over the bigger bit, to make the…"
Mr English replied to Bayley G's discussion Coat sleeves -- why this shape?"My only guess is that the rightmost side is the cuff, and the extra material tucks in where usually the slit and button for the "gauntlet" part of the cuff would be. Can you find an image of the rest of the shirt? The pattern picture just…"

I'm working on a coat based off Simplicity pattern 2333. For some reason, the sleeve has a sort of tab that sticks to the inside, intentionally destroying the straight seam. What is the purpose of this? Does it allow more movement or something?MS-paint mockup of pattern shape: …See More

Katie Gurecki replied to Bayley G's discussion Goggle Lenses?"Yeah, usually you can get them for cheap enough, that it's worth it. Most of the painting/gluing methods don't give you as nice results either. I hand do everything else for when I make my goggles and for friends, starting with a cheap…"
Katie Gurecki replied to Bayley G's discussion Goggle Lenses?"No problem. Your best bet is to look under Rave stuff, you get more of a selection at a better price."

A pleasure to make your aquaintance, Ms. Bailey. I do hope to see you and your special someone Sunday. Many of the people attending have an interest in costume creation, so there will be lots to talk about!
