Silk screen bow specifications

[Mad Max]

Anyone do any Silk Screen there bow specification on there bows??
Does the screen need to hinge to keep the print clean?
 
I had 2 spec. screens made for some bows, this is the first print that came with the silk screens.

"Hybird"??

[Mad Max]

yep

[Longcruise]

How do you apply them?

[Buggs]

Thats really a great idea! I've not seen that. What a great way to do an unusual font, or if you are like me and can only draw stick figures, to actually have some legible writing on the bow.

"Hybird"  should that not be "Hybrid" ??

[Mad Max]

I'm going to try Acrylic paint, the thick stuff you get at walmart.
I will take the silk screen off this frame and make 2 smaller frames .
Yea my hand writing looks like crap too. I've been wanting to do this for a while.

Brandon Stahl did silk screen for his bows

[Buggs]

Do you need a finish over the silk screen and if so, what is compatible?

[Mad Max]

I’ve been using VHT wheel paint on my bows, so I will be using that.
This is all new to me

They make permanent high viscosity inks for silk screening. That’s what I use for my logo on bows. Has to be thick enough to not run back under the stencil.

On there website You can use HSA High Solids Acrylic also, so I have some at home.
It will wipe off with a damp rag and I have used it under the finish.


I cut a body filler spreader to use


They messed up the lower part of the Y and I will get them to remake it and add the "  " also

Hybrid is misspelled, unless you are meaning something else.

[Buggs]

That looks great Very professional. It's amazing that the detail is so crisp and not smeared with that process.

Personally, I like the Hy-Bird

[Mad Max]

Dang, I see it now  Hybrid 

I smeared it a couple time pressing down to hard and I need to make the 2 smaller frames.

[Jeff tech]

I like it. Just correct the misspelling. Looks good. JF

[kennym]

That will be cool!

I thought you meant Freebyrd tho...

[onetone]

It does look fine, clean sharp edges. 

[Mad Max]

Thanks guy's
I'm pleased with it.
