All of the parts are carefully hand-fitted and tested. My toys are made by me using conventional tools; they are not made with a computer, laser, or CNC machine of any sort.

Materials: Wood, Wood Glue, Shellac, Acrylic Paint

I like using shellac on my toys. Shellac is a childsafe finish and used in many foods. If you have eaten M&Ms, you have eaten shellac. Shellac is fast to apply and cures within minutes. I finished these toy cars with a coat of amber shellac and buffed it with steel wool and wax.

What kind of paint are you using for your Bad Bob's Custom Motors cars?

Image
Bad Bob's Custom Motors I use a variety of paints from various sources. I like the acrylic house paints the best. All of the paints are nontoxic when cured.  I like to use a white primer to seal the wood and make the colors pop. In this case, I am using Zinsser B-I-N shellac based primer.  I prefer to use an airbrush for painting toys but, I have to paint outdoors, and the weather where I live does not cooperate, and I have to wait or use a brush. I used an airbrush for these wooden toy cars. My airbrush is a Badger Anthem 155.  I prefer acrylics over all other paints. They clean up easily, cover well, and are readily available in a vast array of colors. To clean, I flood with water to get rid of the bulk of the paint. The remaining paint is easily removed with ammonia-based cleaners such as window cleaner. I use household$ ammonia to remove dried paint.  I used the following to paint these wooden toy car bodies. Pink - Behr Acrylic House Paint Green - Apple Barrel Gl

Testing Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint

Image
2017-05-08 18.20.48 - Wooden Toy - Play Pal - Trailer - Truck - Orange - Anita's - Acrylic - Craft - Paint I painted these two trailers with Anita's All Purpose Acrylic Craft Paint. I didn't use a primer or sealer coat of any kind. The paint was applied with a brush just as it came from the bottle. This is the first coat of paint. I was quite surprised at how well it covered the wood. The orange paints I have used in the past did not cover well at all.   Usually requiring multiple coats to get to the point where I could not see through it.  It raises the grain a lot but I expected this. Water based finishes of any kind will raise the grain. Etsy Store: http://OdinsToyFactory.com #WoodenToys #WoodToys #WoodenToyTruck #WoodToyTruck #OdinsToyFactory #Handmade
