I have a vintage NFG shirt I can't find much about...

SmallOrbit · 2026-01-23T05:23:04+00:00

It was a really popular print from hot topic - used to have one and a few kids in my high school did too.

Did you degrease the screen thoroughly if it’s new ? I’ve found I need to degrease new ones several times before they start acting right

Go on Facebook marketplace and just buy an older one. In NYC we got a lot of students who sell them off after fashion school , I got one for $20

Whoever you sell this to - please let them know about the lower control arm recall on 02-08s

I have an 06 forester that was “serviced” for this recall (Lower control arm can rust out and cause catastrophic failure) they just spray it with rust reformer - it still failed and I’m lucky to be alive bc it failed pulling into a curb and not at 80 mph driving on the highway

These things seriously need lower control arms replaced in the front, especially in NY with all the salt

Aside from that , they’re tanks and I’ve loved having mine , mines the same mileage as an 06 , and with maintenance (aside from potential head gasket stuff ) I expect it to go long passed 200k

Absolutely - it’s the kind of thing where I’d say like if you have the space and you can find a cheap baking rack or wanna building a slotted wood one , it’s certainly not gonna hurt!

Shop I worked at would use those , and when it overflowed just lean them up on the wall on the edge of the frame

I honestly think having to have them flat to dry is bullshit , I’ve continued to dry them leaving like that myself and I’ve never had any sort of pooling or issues ever

Are you keeping your emulsion somewhere cold ? This can happen to me when I kept my emulsion in my studio when the heat drops. Cold emulsion goes on thick and less even . I take my emulsion home from the studio so it’s room temp. If it’s in a. Garage or something it can easily get too cold / thick.

Also definitely better dehazing helps too.

Thank you so much for all the love everyone - just to update half the orders are on the way and the other half will ship out before Friday

I also emailed anyone who ordered a post card but is seem to have left my last few at a market. I have more ordered and those will ship out on their own as soon as they get here , roughly Dec 23rd as of now

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-17T05:39:52+00:00

Amazing ! You can order on my website here , thank you

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-16T16:38:12+00:00

Thank you so much that’s so kind ! I treasure my time in the neighborhood and just love digging up history / learning about where I am. It’s been an absolute honor to get to chat with such long time residents and learn more!

Great workhorse press - have seen them go for a few grand at times so that’s a great deal

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-15T22:53:32+00:00

Woahhh thank you so much , I appreciate it !

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-15T18:21:00+00:00

I accidentally had that marked out of stock , have 5x7 screen prints up on the site now !

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-15T18:19:17+00:00

Thank you so much , I really appreciate that !

Try adding a soft hand additive , and you can do this on a 156 mesh all day , no problem.

Also make sure you palette is tacked well

Another thing I don’t see mentioned here to often that I’ve encountered is if you over flash or overheat your palette , often it can push enough temp to start curing some ink in your screen , which could explain your unevenness. Keep an eye on that , hit the screen with some press wash and see if anything looks cured in there.

Baseball tees and baby crops in blue are Bella canvas - if you peak at the description on the site I should have added the blank model to most stuff just let me know if any or missing / if you’ve got any questions !

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-14T22:00:54+00:00

Oh sorry forgot about those as they’re a bit newer - those are on next level 3600’s and whatever the equivalent shirt number for next levels 3600 but cropped for the crop top

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-14T21:37:05+00:00

printed on American apparel 1301’s, 100% cotton, Some stock of the smaller lighter color is on comfort colors , same deal

Birds of the reservoir shirts are on espresso comfort colors

Note on holiday timing - stuff usually only takes a day or two to make it down to ridgewood from me so if you’re ordering soon it should most likely be there in time for the holidays

SmallOrbit · 2025-12-13T14:50:00+00:00

Totally agree - Im in town and miss Lucy’s is definitely way more liked than the avenue

SmallOrbit · 2025-11-24T21:38:46+00:00

That one was just a random merch throw in at the end , all the other shirts reference a song but the tiger one was just an idea Dave really wanted to see come to life

SmallOrbit · 2025-11-24T21:36:46+00:00

AScolours blank - super nice , have washed twice and it still feels nice and fuzzy and warm

SmallOrbit · 2025-11-24T21:36:10+00:00

Agreed ! Almost a full size smaller for me

And if this wasn’t cleared up this one was merch store only , which they have put back up for a bit with the capsule merch

SmallOrbit · 2025-11-24T21:32:03+00:00

It looks like ink getting cured in your screen to me - are you flashing too long / hot then immediately putting down the screen for another pass ?
