Solder iron and powder paint

I was wondering if anyone thinks this will work. I was thinking that once you have the initial base of powder paint on, before curing, why not take a solder iron to the spot you want the eye so you can dip it in the other paint color or otherwise put the other color for the eye on?

Have you tried it? If so what were the results? Did it do what you wanted it to?

I haven't tried it yet but will be. Gonna do some powder painting this weekend so I will know if it work then. I hope it work because then I can do the eyes with it and not have to worry about painting them or coating them afterward.

Be sure and post pictures or PM me with your results. Good luck.

Will post pictures if it works.

I WANNA SEE I WANNA SEE"@!:D

I think if you held it there long enough to be able to melt the powder most of the head would be that hot and then if you dipped it in the powder it would cover more then you wanted.

Let us know how it works

Have a friend who uses the head of nails. Heats it up, brands the jig, then sprinkles the paint over the heated part. Mixed results - lot of work. I'm starting to use decals more and more - too easy, more consistent, and less time consuming.
