Bobby Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 So I was helping a friend's son with some panel lining tips and couldn't think of the actual term to describe the behavior of the pigment when it moves itself along the panel lines. Does anyone know the technical word to describe how the liquid pigment just moves itself up down along these tiny channels even against gravity? I'm guessing it is either some sort of liquid capillary action or surface adhesion? Just figured someone here might be in a field that deals with these kind of fluid dynamics. Quote
vincemoto7 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I think you got it - "capillary action". Quote
macsam Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 What you called it is much better... "liquid pigment that just moves itself" Quote
Bobby Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 Well, I did think capillary action sounded so "basement level biology lab" instead of "hobby man-cave" lingo... How 'bout... panel-streaking panoodling seam-surfing panellary action pan-hesion copaneling panelicking Quote
