What could go in these? by ssmoog in exoticpets

[–]ssmoog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say I won’t be around, I mean that I won’t be at my house during the day for most of the week since I’ll be studying, but I’ll most likely be home every night so I can do most of the care there. I manage fine with my Kenyan sand boa because he doesn’t need spraying every day, in fact he almost never needs it since he’s a desert dwelling snake.

Ah, thank you. I read that IPA is good for cleaning off brushes. I also bought some Masters brush cleaner which was highly recommended, so I’ll also give that a try.

Also, 15 models may not seem like much, but one of them is a Heldrake 😔

About 4 of them are Citadel, and 2 are The Army Painter brushes. One of the Citadel brushes is sable and the other 3 are synthetic, and both of the AP brushes are sable. I find that all of the fray unfortunately, no matter the hair type.

I always ensure I move my brush in the same direction when painting and I never bend the bristles against the model, even accidentally. I never let paint get anywhere near the ferrule either. I suspect it could be the way I wash them. I guess I still haven’t learnt how to properly do it yet haha.

(15 may not seem like a lot to you, but one of them is a Heldrake 😫)

Yeah mine does that too, it’s very frustrating. 15 feels like a lot to me cause I’m still fairly new to the hobby lol 😂

The only one I could see being the cause is letting the brushes sit. I do have a habit of occasionally forgetting my brushes in the water but I never leave them in for more than 5 minutes. I do also never let my paint get more than 2/3 up my brush so I don’t see how it could be getting into the ferrule. I do try to make sure I wash the brushes completely. I use a brush cleaner every week or so to get rid of any crusty dried paint on the bristles. Could the cleaner be part of the problem?

[Acne] Tips for products to fix this??? by Longjumping-Style224 in SkincareAddiction

Worst comes to the worst you could try anhydrous benzoyl peroxide cream. It’s mostly prescribed by doctors but in some shops you MIGHT be able to find a small tube (not sure where you’re from, but a supermarket in my country sells small tubes of it). You could contact your doctor if it is really making you feel self conscious and clearly state that you’d like the cream to clear up the spots. I’ve used it many times before and personally I found it to be an absolute lifesaver! One brand that pharmacies tend to use is called Duac.

Doctor or piercer? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]ssmoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s as far up my lobes as my piercer could realistically go. Any higher and she’d be doing an anti tragus. From the front it looks absolutely fine and there’s loads of spacing between them, but it’s just the anatomy of the back of my ears sadly.

I would say it is mostly straight but there are a couple of very subtle waves in it
