Duratex "Leather-look" finish

[vlad335]

Received an email from Acrytec outlining an alternative method of finishing a cab. Using Saran wrap to acheive a leather/tolex look.

Pretty cool. I am going to try this on my new cabs.

That was the result of someone on this forum experimenting, possibly Leland? I remember a brief mention of it in a thread.

Whoever it was, congrats, you're on the map!

BTW, nice to see you around again vlad!

Yep, it was Leland. Here's the thread where I first saw him mention it.

Thanks Tim!

Not surprising it came from someone here.

I think my version looks better than acry-tech's. I told them how I did it, they changed the technique somewhat.




Edit: I hadn't seen that. The original pic they sent to me didn't look anything like mine. That's exactly how I did it. It will be the std finish on all my cabs from now on.

Do you still spray the cab? or are you going to roll?

[LelandCrooks]

Rolled it, just because I didn't want to fire up the sprayer for 1 small cab. The heavier the coat, the deeper the graining.

There's a bunch of faux techniques that will translate to duratex from paint. When I get some of these demo and customer cabs done, I'm going to try several.
