I have just kicked myself.....
I was having a play on the old piggy earlier on, for the simple reason that my outlining has been turning out pretty poor in the last couple of tatts i have done, to the stage where i started turning people down, with any old excuse.
I kept myself an hour to one side, and was determined to find out the reason why, as i have usually been fine with it. I havent done any tatts for around a month or so, and bad lines were really pissing me off.
Anyway, i started off with a 5RL with a Glynn Flew liner, at my normal speed. They were quite thin lines for a 5, so i cranked the m/c up to 10v, which seemed too much revs to me, did the lines again, and they were quite faint.
This time i knocked the volts down to 9v, and moved my hand alot slower. I could have head butted the wall! The lines were brilliant! All that time, and it was simply hand speed. The difference in line thickness and blackness is absolutely unbelievable. Thats me in a very good mood, and can see me being busy this week.
I was thinking of going to see AJ, as this seems the perfect time for a refresher mi thinks!
I have been reading pretty good things about the AJ experience around here, and the added bonus is that i live in the same City, around 4 miles away. :kiss:
