    a bed sheet will bleed through if you get too heavy.

    if you have the right paint you shouldnt have to let out any pressure, practice, practice, practice. it will become second nature eventually, try use nozzels that you are comfortable with, alot of it also has to do with the pressure control with your finger.

    Hope this helps!!!

    you can get nice caps all over you just have to rack the caps and try them all to find the nice ones. try deo, air fresheners, etc.

    guys in america are most ur cans over ther able to have caps put on them like ny fats n shit?
    in australia our cheap cans you cant put any of those caps on them and the cans are like krylon pressure. so we have to get deo caps n shit...

    aussie writers using exports grab impulse caps :p and canola spray caps. impulse are skinny ish and canola spray is fat :D

    the impulse caps i used were more of a fat cap... the stock one was skinnier. I dunno...

    oh yeah, im using a mix of Squirts, Septone and Export spray... all of which are cheap and nasty

    if youve got male cans
    take the nib off and fold paper over the top a few times and test it till its right
    this gives you half pressure without fucking up your finger and getting uneven lines when you accidently press that little bit harder
    lined paper doesnt work as well for some reason i dont know

    wouldnt folding paper over the nib just stop paint from coming out...?

    then just throw your nib ontop and your rockin
    this particular can was used to do highlights/reflections about as thin as an artline 90 nib

    because there is paper under the nib therefore you can only push it down half way
    therefore half the normal amount of paint comes out
    foam or felt or some shit might work better i will experiment

    That's a pretty good idea...I think it'd probably be easier to just let out some of the pressure though.
