How does the cobwebbing work? As I remember cobwebbing is done to fresh paint before the clearcoat. Basically, get your freshly painted part which is ready for clearcoat, The light your acetylene torch so that it's burning rich in actylene but weak in oxygen and is producing lots of soot.  Then wave it near your freshly painted part until you have put enough soot on to it to suit your tastes. Then clearcoat... Job done! You can obviously produce soot in lots of ways, candles are quite good for this, but the acetylene soot is kinda stringy and cob-webby! That’s not cobwebbing 😉 Back in the day it was achieved by using a ‘veilling gun’ some of these had rotating heads. Some had multiple that’s rotated in opposite directions. Today I believe it’s done using varying pressures and a very thick mix of paint. Almost tar like. The second pic you posted is acetylene soot, top is cobwebbing. |
