    Hi Rob., I commented to you once before, as a78 yr. old former self taught airbrush hack who painted vans and bikes about 45 years ago…. Badger and Passche single and double action . I think the Badger was a 150 model. I stopped airbrushing when the van mural fad died out.
    My wife of 43 yrs. retired from the daily grind a couple of years ago, and was looking for a hobby.
    I had discovered your You Tube work and decided you should be my inspiration. I have already relearned a lot of my old tricks, but more importantly I am learning some awesome new things from your programs.
    I asked my wife if she might like to give it a dance. She took me up on the offer and after remodeling a spare bedroom into a studio for two, I bought her a Harder & Steenbeck Infinity . I also got her some paints and a compressor .
    Long story short, two nights a week we turn on You tube to your show. Watch an episode or two and fire up her new toy and my Evolution. I’m giving her and myself lessons from Dread. Thanks again friend!
    P.s…… wife absolutely needs to know where you hail from?

    Great vid
    I'm so glad you started with water. New painters often start with alco thinners and flow improvers/drying retarders that change the drying time and cause a host of problems for them.
    Also another top tip from you for new painters to build a mix/recipe book for paints. It's so important.

    Great information, your idea of using a stainless steel hex nut as an agitator is genius. I used the 5.5 mm balls in my small bottles, and they stopped the paint from dispensing.

    Dred you Are excellent, very straight forward and good learning skilles for me as a total newbie. Question, what do the ISO when mixing and also the flow additiver, never heard of it here i Denmark. Thank` for a channel I can't resist to look at every day now.

    Rob, quick question. Have you ever tried mummy inks or dr Phil inks? I find they work as well as FW but abit pricey. The pigment on mummy seem more refined

      ​@dredfxcustompaint I bought mummy and Dr Phil on Amazon. I really think you would like mummy. Comes in many colors also. The dr Phil seems more transparent using same thinning recipient you use but the mummy seems more opaque than fw. My reason for stating a more refined pigment. They both come in pipette type glass bottle as fw but my mummy were purchased in plastic. Give the black mummy a go. I'd bet a penny you will be extremely satisfied with this ink.

      @dredfxcustompaint runs good I did the test with 15 and 10 psi. I also did only with 2 drops of water and without iso. Fw black ink I'm using.. isn't that turned out a darker black without the iso?
      I also did a test but then with 2 drops vallejo thinner and not the iso 99,9 alcohol.
      With the alcohol it allso looks like the paper is getting softer.

    I would like us to be able to contact each other and for you to tell me a little more about it because I have some questions about why the box in this version is silver in some and red in another, what difference is there?
