I've been working out a new finish for using multiplex to make slingshots out of. The finish is rougher than I expected. This stuff requires extra sanding to insure a smooth result when done. I, like several other makers, am switching to laminated wood or natural forks to make sure of the safest and strongest wooden slingshots. I like the idea of using paint to cover the grainy sides of the plywood, but it sure makes it harder to be satisfied when done.
Fish, who makes the Fish Hunter slingshots has been using multiplex for a long time with good results.
Anyway, I thought I would show three models that I have made patterns for in the hopes that I can sell a few or trade for other slingshots. Of coarse, I sure need to work out a solid smoooooth finish for them. I like the black color also.
I'll be rigging them with flat bands for targets and plinking. https://blogger.googleusercontent.c...9172196162879?l=smittyslingshots.blogspot.com
I just posted Red Hot in the Custom slingshot feed and commented on a very nice spray paint to use for wood. It doesn't run as easily as others are prone to. It also is thicker which helps smooth away the grain and or textures of wood.
It is Rust-OLeum, High Performance Enamel. I also used it on the catty shown in Custom slingshots, under "Form Fitted". The catty has the Rust-Oleum where you see it in black.
