Just got my Verlinden camo netting in the mail. Quick question any tips on painting it without filling in the holes and what colors are suggested because the green it comes in is way too light. thnkas in advance.

I would tack it to a board, mix up some watery acrylics, (greens, browns, khaki, etc.) and drip them randomly across the net, allowing the paint to soak into the threads and then blotting-up the excess with a paper towel. Set aside to dry. Dry-brush with khaki when completely dry.
Hey there,
I was thinking about getting this stuff, how big/ much comes with it? Does it look pretty real? Thanks.
The stuff looks pretty good John. It cost around 6$$. Not sure how much isin it though, my buddy has some and has used it for quit a few things.
hey john it is a quality product and comes in a big square enough to do a few subjects with depending on how much you are using and for what. it actually looks really good but it is a very light shade of green and needs to be painted
Ok, thanks.
Try gauze bandages. Half the price for a whole lot more materail. Food coloring, starch it to make it stiff enough to drape and paint. Once it’s dyed you can spread it to shape, then spray starch it . Once the form is established, you can paint it any color. Makes great camo shelters.[2c]
thanks for the suggestion did now i have to hit up the first aid course at my job for spare gauze!
If you dont have any starch to steal from your wife I have watered down white glue and it did the job for me.

You can also try those plastic string bags that you buy oranges/veggies in (especially onions). Most supermarkets use ordinary plastic bags nowadays, but there are some markets and fruit & veg shops that still have them…
