Safety Alert About Methylene Chloride Use

[CAL]

I shot artist tube oil out of my airbrush. I am also a big glue guy, I have maybe 40-50 different glues in my cabinet right now. I can say mostly they don't work or do what they are supposed to do, but the best stuff is always the most toxic.

Artist oils work very well in an airbrush. I've done that too. Their high pigmentation makes them cover and blend great. The downside is, they take forever to dry. Lacquers on the other hand dry instantly, so you don't have worry about smearing them or getting finger prints in it. I used to go to the local genuine parts store and the lady that worked there was a long time friend and neighbor. She would make me pure dupont mixing pigment w/ a binder added to use for my murals. You could thin them at least 300% or more and still get coverage. I don't have many pix of the stuff I used to do and I can't show most of them here anyway lol but here's a link to what you can do w/ lacquer and artist acrylics

Those are pretty cool.

I like the girl from Boris Vallejo's Moonlight Wolves .
