- G'day all. A few weeks ago I was having a conversation with some of the community on the leatherworker.net forum. Some people expressed interest in seeing how the patina is applied using an airbrush for my pen sleeves. So, here it is!
Enjoy, I hope you learn something and get some value from the video.
It is amazing how the world is so big but yet so small. You are on the other side of the world and 2 years ago you posted this awesome video. You inspired me!!!!!! I purchased an airbrush system because of your video. Now I need to learn how to set it up and use it. Thank you for taking your time to help. If you ever come to the United States and find yourself in Tennessee I want you to come for dinner.
Thanks very much! It is comments like this that make it worth while. How are you going with the airbrush now?
HA!!! Im searching for ways to improve my sheath making and two tone dyeing is something I wanted to try. Who do I run across??? Technology has indeed made this world very small. Thanks for the tutorial!
Haha! Well fancy seeing you here :)
Very cool! Thank you! I really got a lot out of your "Quick Tips", as well. Very useful and helpful video. Thank you!
bought an airbrush and have been really enjoying it for getting even color. I know you applied a beeswax finish here but Im curious to know have you ever tried applying a liquid top coat with your airbrush (like tandy ecoflo satin sheen)?
i am thinking this would be a perfect way to ensure there is no streaking on larger projects and great way to apply the top coat over top of the antique gels as well without worrying about it lifting off as sometimes can happen with manual application. I am thinking a top coat like ecoflo satin sheen would be thin enough but i am hesitant to try it in the airbrush as i dont want to clog it up, and not sure what to use to clean the parts after (just water?)
Thats awesome! It is a great tool to havs. I have not tried it personally, but most of those products are soluble in water or maybe rubbing alcohol... they are surprisingly resilient!
thanks for the reply- i think i will give it a shot !
Actually, I tell a lie! I remember now I did it once before when making some light green branded key chains. When I applied supersheen in my usual way, it went splotchy and darkened the colour too much. So I sprayed it instead. I did it over a few lighter coats.
They took a while to cure from memory, but I still see those key chains floating around and they are still light green!
My airbrush has worked fine since, though i am fanatical about cleaning it immediately after use so there is that... haha
Great vid dude…excellent and cool work
I’m glad to hear it, thanks for the comment!
been thinking about getting an airbrush for doing this effect. can you use ecoflo water based dye in the airbrush?
Great! yes you can absolutely use that. It is already pretty thin so you could use it straight out of the bottle, but try experimenting with using it diluted for softer effects and to get more out of a bottle. But be sure to wear a respirator and good ventilation, they may be water based but may still be harmful when inhaled.
great thanks!
Wonderful video, please where can I get an airbrush in east London?
Thankyou, sorry I do not know. But I would suggest looking for a hobby store specialising in model aircraft, or model railways.
@@wedgetailleather thanks a lot for the reply, would do just that

Lighting was terrible
Thanks for the feedback, I'm working on that :)
....but, the product looked great!
Wow! A year has gone by so fast. How is the reno moving along?
Sure has! Reno is going well, mostly just in clean up mode now... all the "clutter" from the house is now cluttering up my work space.... but I cleaned a bunch out last weekend and should be back to work on a few more weeks. :)
