Title: Airbrush
Post by: boneaddict on February 12, 2008, 02:39:24 AM: I got a video to actually show me how to use an airbrush Michelle. First step in the right direction. I worked on a couple mounts I have out hanging in the shop that are there for practice and repair. I had some old refurbished mounts. All fun to play with. Sort of like a junker car taken to the high school shop class. Anyhow, having fun with it. Probably won't be doing fish anytime soon.

Best part about it is how it shows you how to take them apart and put back together and clean them and som e of that. I tried the hard way and now I have spare parts.
