Day One:
I know my last piece almost made it to the fire pit. But I think this one I was working on for a current customer last night might be heading there for the 1st time since starting. Had a few chip outs on it. Losing a few tips of the stars. As the stars and inner borders are outset, While the red & blue areas of the Flag are inset areas. Was not going that deep either, because I like to do several shallow passes if I have to. And the bits were new bits. Guessing it must have been some bad grain areas. If it was a personal piece for myself, I would probably keep it as I did fix it for the most part. But since it is for a customer and it's a In Loving Memory Sign for his Son that passed. I am more than likely going to redo it. Ohhh The Woes....
Day Two:
Follow up on piece I had to do again due to chip out on some of the stars..Well this is strike 2 on this piece. Can't stress enough how disappointed I am for a 2nd time and in clear conscious can not deliver this sign to the customer yet. The customer had a license plate made up for Memory of his Son that passed and wanted me to make the same on a sign for him.Well last night I finished it for a 2nd time and it looked great. Painted it today, went to sand it off and could not believe the bleeding that happened. Even the black primer bled on me. Talked with Frank & Eric and think the problem may have been primer temperature along with the possibility of over spraying. Well let's hope there is not a strike 3.
