I switched from the Iwata moisture filter to the Fisheye Filters. They not only stop moisture, but oil and any other contaminants and when the filter gets filled up, it will shut off the air flow. There is a spray gun sized filter (which can also be used inline) and the Minnow, which attaches right to the airbrush.
Another great video - wise words as always ✌️👍😊💜 I tend to use 3m masks too - coupled with a booth etc. When I was a welder I switched to, the, then, new, air fed units for welding galvanized etc - they were the most comfortable and easy to live with. But when I think of fumes, cigarette smoke etc I've breathed in passively and otherwise, it freaks me out, H&S in the 1980s was very poor.
I hear you on that. I can't imagine how many fumes are involved in the welding profession. Always wanted to learn the basics in welding because it requires some serious skill. a spray booth is awesome and perfect for model painters like yourself. They seem to do such a great job at collecting the overspray so it doesn't fill the air. I need to install a large scale one for my studio. Someday soon i hope
@@theartworkshop Thanks. I've not welded for years, but I used to do arc electrode, gas, MIG and dabbled with some TIG work, but as I worked with mild steel, the latter wasn't needed. When I started? Welding galvanized? "Drink a glass of milk". We then moved onto PP2 and PP3 masks iirc. Air-fed was the best. If working on site a simple mask or stand up wind often sufficed. Yes a spray room/studio is the perfect environment for airbrush artists such as your goodself, a considered purchase for sure💜👍😊
Very good review of air brush accessories. I'm glad you explained about the mask and filters because the type of paint used sometimes uses different filters to keep your lungs safe. Thank you.
Another "GREAT" vlog. I too have all of the same accessories. The soft jaw pliers I was just recommending to someone on Reddit and I have the needle nose versions too from the same Japanese plier brand found on Amazon. Can't say enough about silent oiled compressors, they are game changers, get one!
thanks LEGIN. I didn't know this brand made needle nose soft jaws as well. I will 100% be ordering them- thanks for the letting me know! And yes, I couldn't agree more about the silent oil compressors. One of my best investments
glad found ur channel ,as new to AB,im learning better thanks to ur vids,btw ur art is amazing,I used to draw ,paint and know its very addictive...wish I had stuck with it...anyways,thank you...I AB model kits and ur info is very relevant cheers
I have but the treads are too small and it's a real pain to do a good job with teflon tape. Beeswax is so much easier for nozzle treads and works just as well!
Hi, I remember in a previous video you said you filtered your paint, but what do you use? I noticed that there was dust and other impurities in my lacquer thinner, which also ruinned the paint I had thinned with it. I wonder if I could salvage...
Thanks; great stuff as always! It sounds like you've found all quick ends to be identical. That hasn't been the case for me. My initial entry was a Talon bundle with everything. When I tried an Iwata quick connect, I discovered that the quick end is similar, but not identical, to the Paasche. It works... sort of. If I move my hand the wrong way, I will get some leakage from the quick connection. I'm curious whether Paasche is slightly different geometry compared to all other quick ends, or are the US quicks all the same, but different from all the non-US ones? I think I just need to get a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter for my Eclipse, and another 1/8 quick. But I'm wondering whether I will have to get a Paasche, or any 1/8 quick will do. Not a serious issue. Mostly just curious.
I wish the US ones switched to the 1/8th as well. I have a 3rd party quick adapter for my paasche talon and it fits my iwata quick disconnect perfectly. But I have had a few different ones that leak a small amount of air as well.
Hello. Greetings from the city of St. Petersburg. Such a question for you! I paint aerogorof paintings in black and white style. Could you help me explain how to make black paint transparent without a shade of blue! Thanks for earlier if you tell me)))
Greetings from NY! Well black is going to be a cooler color, so thin layers of it may tend to look blue. You can always add some orange (or a mixture of red and yellow) into the black paint to help warm it up a bit. Orange is the complimentary color to blue so it will help. Adding burnt umber to your black is also a good option. Hope this helps!
@@theartworkshop Thanks for the help! Does it turn out that I do not add white paint to black so that I can make a light and medium tone in the drawing?
Yes, if I want to spray a transparent color I would not add white. White is going to add opacity to the color and make the mixture a semi opaque, rather than a transparent. When you spray a semi opaque like this (with white added) over a darker color, it will start to look blue or grey because of that blue shift you get with an airbrush. @@АндрейЗолотарев-к1т
@@theartworkshop Sometimes happened while others do not...I assumed was a thickness problem, never thought that I might have put ones in the proper direction 😅
Thank you for this video.
For tip #4, a cheaper alternative is a wood clothespin (clothes peg in the UK), it will work as well.
I never thought of that- pretty awesome idea!

that's right! I need to get myself one of those to test out
Thank you for the video. I did purchase several of the items you presented. Extremely useful, much appreciated!
thanks so much Richard!
Connecting the moisture trap to the air hose is a great idea!

The iwata airbrush holder is awesome. Way better than the sparmax one that I have.

Love that respirator is #1
yes sir! respirators are so very important to me.

Good stuff, and I happen to have all those times three, four, love your channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
I only use a resparator when im spraying solvents and lacquers. Very rearly when im using acrylics. Just an open window for that.
that's smart. those lacquers will clear out the house!
Noticed the air leaks around the aircap in a lot of your reviews. Have you ever tried adding teflon tape to stop them?
I have but the treads are too small and it's a real pain to do a good job with teflon tape. Beeswax is so much easier for nozzle treads and works just as well!
@@theartworkshop Thanks.
Time to find some bees wax - noticing leaks appearing.

Yes, I use a 190 micron filter by TCP global. You can get them on amazon for like $10 or so. Hope this helps!
Thanks; great stuff as always!

man, never thought of using the teflon in the opposite direction...I feel so dumb
just to help prevent it from bunching up!
