As I am new to the forum I thought, I would come bearing a small gift for the warm welcome I have received.
The base is 160mm long by 120mm wide, 16mm MDF and a piece of garden hose from an (Insert offending persons names yard) cut at 30 degrees and hot glued in place. The small blue wedge is a tip off a clothes peg and serves two purposes push down, it vents the water trap and stops the brush being pulled back by the airhose
On the trigger I used polymorph a low melting point plastic that melts over 60 deg C in hot water and becomes like dough and you can form it to any shape, when it cools to about 55 deg C it hardens to a rigid tough plastic that can be drilled , tapped , cut and sawn. I have used it for masks and templates . It will get tacky when you put thinners or acetone on it , but it will dry out quickly .
Hope this helps or inspire something.
