hm.. well, i'll wash it real good and then test the bottom of the foot with v color and see what happens.

You might try giving it a base coat of Krylon Fusion.
Not sure if V-color will bond to poly(ethylene)

thanks for the tip!

i have this guy that i would like to paint using v color . how well does it work on plastic model kits ?

I think it will melt styrene, so for that dude i would use Tamiya spray primer then Tamiya paints in the glass jars.

I have never tried v color on model kit plastic or resin, for those, I always use tamiya.

thanks frank !

v-color will most definitely melt styrene plastic. I made the mistake of mixing it in a styrene cup once. The bottom of the cup melted off. Yikes!

Is being gay lame? Cause that is what you are implying in my mind.

Its one thing for those of a subculture to call themselves such. Or to take back a slur. Its another thing for someone, outside of the subculture, to use such words.

I can't speak about the hispanic/anglo use of the n-word.
I have never heard of this trend.

redhanded, do you know or are you close to any gay people?

I do have a lesbian freind, one bi-female friends and I manage two gay men at my work location. I have worked with lesbians and gays for at every location I have worked at and had a gay roommate in college in the late 80s. I am not a homo-hater or anything. (homophobe is a bad PC term, very few people who do not approve of the lifestyle have a fear of homosexuals)
I think you are a little off in the understands of what I meant, gay people does not equal lame, its a new definiton gay=lame popularized in the last 10 years or so. Sort of how like if something is 'fat/phat' it does not mean carrying extra weight.
As for the n-word, I was a little shocked when I heard hispanic kids throwing it around at a record store like the wind about 10 years ago, and i hear it everynow and thn too. It appears that NYC hardcore bands often like to address each other as in 'youz my nigga' without shame on stage without any racist conotation regardless of color.

The only reason that gay=lame in the past decade is because it is a backhanded homophobic use of the term.
Ignorance is ignorance and offensive.
Continuation of the use of a trend is not only ignorant, but just as destructive.

I enjoyed your redefining of the word homophobic.
Basically this is my polite way of telling you to go pleasure yourself with a blunt object.

Seeing we are being so literal I decided to challenge the defintion of homophobic, seeing calling someone homophobic, implies you know exactly what they are thinking and what there views are. Its was a bit of play on words a few will catch sooo early in the morning. A wee bit of sarcasm and word play.

Clearly, your advice on encounters with the blunt object will be passed on, seeing you clearly speak from experience, and from your response, sorry, I would like to keep some of my wits.

The long and the short of it is this is a public forum where people of a lot of different viewpoints come to get info about toys. What you say in the company of your friends and what is appropriate for a public forum can be two different things.

Whether or not the term 'gay' is good or bad in YOUR own opinion, some people may feel marginalized by its use. Further, any justification of using this term shows ignorance and indignance towards other people.

Just use discretion when you're posting on this board or any other board.

This isn't even about being all hippy or about political correctness; this is about carrying yourself in the internet world by having a little bit of class, dignity and respect for people.
