Here is a very handy set you can get from Cabelas outdoor sporting goods. It is an assortment of lead wire used for tying flys and other fishing applications. It is really good for hoses, wires and tubing. A simple pull on each end with pliers and it will straighten and it bend very easily. If you clean it with a little acetone or lacquer thinner and it will hold paint very nicely. This is a cheap alternative to the stuff sold in little packages in modeling shops. For the worry warts, yes it is true lead and in sufficient quantity will cause you harm, but it is really hard to get enough in your system from handling this small amount without wadding it up and chewing on it on a daily basis. Here is the website. https://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=744541&type=product&WT.z_btnclk=YMAL-744541&WT.z_pg_ref=prd744646

I've had it with gravity fed airbrushes. For me they leave paint drops all over and especially on my hands. OK so I should wear gloves. I have a dual action plastic airbrush with the only indication of make is Lifetime Guarantee printed on one side. It is side fed only (see image). Anybody have any idea of the brand? Considering the hose that attaches to it, it must be designed to be used with pressurized air cans. The following two images are of the hose. My question is, is there any way to adapt the large end (cut and splice) to the connector that would normally mate with a Badger (for instance). The threaded connector on the airbrush is far too small for (normal) hose ends. This is the end I want to somehow adapt to my compressor. Or can someone direct me to a hose source that would be compatible with the (normal) compressor fitting. Robert
