Hey all! I'm constantly researching new ways to weather and treat my saber parts, and I found some weird stuff that I want to run by you guys.
First I found some videos on YouTube of people using wood stain on metal. Now both videos made it seem like it wouldn't last on something that gets touched constantly like a handle, but that got me wondering if anyone's ever tried putting a clear coat of spray paint over wood stain on their metal handle?
So over the course of trying to research the above paragraphs question, I found this (in my opinion) weird product online called "alcohol inks metal stain". It looked like some kind of artsy-fartsy sculpturing project, but the concept intrigued me. Has anyone ever heard of that product or tried to use it on a saber?
And lastly, out of my own crazy curiosity, what's the weirdest thing you've ever used on a saber that turned out really nice? I don't necessarily mean found objects in something like a crystal chamber or chassis Construction, I think my question is more geared to the first people who ever tried to bake their lightsaber with oil.
I hope this Sparks a crazy weird discussion of obscure weathering methods. If not, oh well.
As always, may The Force be with you all.
