Hi
I registered on the forum a couple of days ago & this is my first post.
I would like your advice on my first reasonable airbrush purchase.
I bought a tanked compressor with a couple of generic/cheap dual action trigger airbrushes, but the thread on one of the air hose connectors failed/stripped after very minimal use, so thought it would be beneficial to purchase a better quality one.
I initially bought the kit to spray finish small wooden jewellry boxes that I make, with a water based varnish or lacquer as to eliminate brushmarks.
Ideally i would like an airbrush that can accommodate a fairly viscous varnish or finish, but dont have much experience in this technique and would think that the liquid would need to be diluted????
I am aware that airbrushes are available with different nozzle sizes and logically thinking, would say that a larger nozzle size would allow for a more viscous/thicker solution to pass through it???
Please correct me if my logic is flawed.
To be honest, my principle reason for joining the forum was to as advice regarding the above, but after looking through the gallery on the site, it brought back memories of when I used airbrushes at art college and before, and has inspred me to use my equipment for some artwork at a future date.
Any advice whatsoever is greatly appreciated, as I truly have VERY limited knowledge on spraying techniques.
I am looking at a budget of UK £80 -£100
Many thanks in advance
Simon
