Hey Joe, Glad to see another 'Burgh member here. I'm about 20 miles south.

In Topic: Looking at other forums makes me wonder, what other hobbies do you have?

04 May 2013 - 05:19 AM

I am into quite a few things. Most anything to do with wheels and a motor, cars, motorcycles/trucks. I collect airbrushes. Buy and sell on feeBay. I got a high speed engraver that I hope to relearn (had one a while back) and I'd like to make some side cash with it. I am a hockey fan in general and a Penguins fan in particular (hence part of my signature) with a small collection of jerseys.

 

I have a bad habit of getting into something and then going "Whole-Hog". I buy stuff and then when I need cash, well, there it goes. I have a newer job that takes a lot of my time so I haven't had a chance to do much besides work and spend money (yep, it's been an upside time right now. The down side time will follow).


In Topic: Airbrush Questions

If your airbrush was a new kit it should have had a booklet in it showing how to practice with it. If you got the booklet and haven't done so yet, please read it.

 

Another way to practice is to get one bottle of fabric paint like Createx. I would suggest black. Scrounge up an old T-shirt or two and practice on them. Stick a piece of cardboard inside the shirt and spray away.

 

You have to be sure you clean the 'brush well if you plan to later spray solvent based materials but it is also a good way to learn how to take it apart and put it back together.
