- This is very much a comparison video, between 3 quality airbrushes with different nozzle sizes.
I do hope that you find Airbrushing Part 2 interesting, here at Chadwick Model Railway 225.
I return next time with progress in the Branch Line Station area.

Charlie, hope you get rid of that lurgy quickly, and feel better soon.
Great video on the difference needle size makes on the result with your airbrush, the finer the needle the more precise and finer the result is.
Thank you for sharing, and I apologise for oversharing on my response to the previous video. Keep up the good work, and cheers, stay safe, Michael
Thanks Michael, for your concern.
Rest assured, I’m on the mend.
Regards Charlie.
Wonderful presentation of an often frightening subject! I look forward to future installments.
I'm looking forward to painting/lettering some rolling stock and steam locomotives, and perhaps some backdrop 'clouds' and scenery.
If I can press on without self-embaressment, I someday hope to paint a set of passenger cars (resin kits) in a three color scheme using Tamiya masking tape and a finer tip for spraying the narrower areas. Thanks!
Thanks M3485, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards, Charlie.
The air hose makes a big difference, my first airbrush came with a cheap plastic hose which restricted the air, after replacing it with a thicker heavy duty hose my results improved significantly
Thanks Iain for some interesting advice. Regards Charlie
Thanks, again for this airbrushing series. I see that you are holding the airbrush with both hands which may be the difficulty in writing. We usually write with one hand and by now that hand has a lot of experience. You might try supporting your wrist instead. The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum did a video of a truly awesome artist airbrushing details on a restored WWII P-61. She uses a variety of techniques for stabilization but always paints with one hand. I hope your sniffles went away quickly after filming this episode.
Thanks William, but rest assured that my technique is improving.
Regards Charlie
Enjoyed the video thanks Charlie. I can see uses for all 3 when it comes to model railways. The very fine one for graffiti on the side of wagons. The middle one for general work including weathering of stock. The last one would be a great asset for scenery work as its more of a spray gun for larger areas.
I think you’re bang on the money Garth. Regards, Charlie.
Thanks, Charlie, another very informative video. I was particularly pleased that you left the ‘slips’ in and explained the cause. All very useful!
Every day is a school day Rob, for us all. Regards, Charlie.
Thanks, Charlie for another very educational video. Especially the use of Vallejo "Air" paints. As a novice, I've not been sure about paint thickness. Be well soon.
Thanks Trevor, and rest assured I’m well on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
Hi Charlie….having had many years experience with spray guns etc ,I went for the Starmax airbrush which has a “pistol”type trigger,I feel the control of paint flow is easier…possibly just personal preference.
Another bit of annul info….the nozzles you mention are called fluid tips.Your skills are admirable,as it takes alot of time and effort to achieve them,it boils down to practice.The Mahl stick was a good shout ,or some kind of wrist rest would assist first time users get finer results.
Keep up the good videos.
Thanks, David, for such a constructive comment. Regards, Charlie.
Very informative video Charlie. A fascinating subject well explained. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Thanks Roy, I’m so pleased that you enjoy it. Regards, Charlie.
Another great video; I use a similar saying to Crawl, Walk, Run, it’s Crawl, stumble, fall arse over head. That sums up my modeling skills.
I’m sure that’s not true, mate.
Regards, Charlie.
Great video Charlie. I wouldn't look for openings as a spray painter....
I think you’re right, mate, I know my limitations! Regards Charlie
Vicks sinex in one of those airbrushes, crank up the pressure to 60psi and a quick shot up each snout you’ll be as right as rain. Joking aside, great video’s and keep em coming, good timing as well as I’m shopping for an airbrush. Nice to know the different needle sizes and comparisons, definitely food for thought(gold info) Oh if we’re doing requests can I ask for a video on coach configurations, always been a bit of a murky subject for a beginner like me. Get well soon and thank you for doing the hard work for this video, truly appreciated.
Thanks MB, I’m so pleased that you find the channel interesting. Regards, Charlie.
Hope you’re feeling better soon, Charlie.
Useful content there, especially on the different nozzle & needle sizes.
Many thanks
Thanks Adrian, I’m now on the mend.
So pleased that you enjoyed the video.
Regards Charlie.
Hope you’re back in fine fettle soon Charlie. Personally, I’d prescribe a tot of Wood’s Rum!
Great video on the different sizes of nozzles. As you said, horses for courses depending on what you’re painting. I get the feeling it’s a learning curve with each airbrush. They all seem to have different positions that the control valve opens for both air and paint.
Haven’t looked myself, but there could be (if not, there’s an opportunity for some enterprising outfit) a bolt on in-line reservoir for the compressor. It would only need to be a ‘tee’ piece with a tank attached to just iron out the compressor pulses. A bit like the ‘stay alive’ in a DCC locomotive.
Thanks for your encouraging reply to my comment in the Airbrush Part 1 video. This one definitely showcases the abilities of the various airbrushes available. Many thanks.👍 dB.
Many thanks DB, I’m now feeling much better thanks. Regards Charlie
all those air brush ready paints work best with .5 nozzle
Thanks James, so they might need further thinning. Regards Charlie
Your good Charlie,you’ve got me watching paint dry!
That last Ian, I never thought it could be done. Regards, Charlie.
An interesting episode as always. Be reassured that the next time I find graffiti on my garage the “Old Bill” won’t be sent in your direction 😂. As for “a large cup”…. I believe they are called “a mug” 😆
Looking forward to 4 weeks time and putting these beasts to proper use. After all that’s what we would want to use them for. Although only 2 weeks to more usual stuff breaks it up nicely.
Hope you feel better soon.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video, and rest assured I’m now on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
Thank you for remembering to give the update about the Tamiya paint. Get well soon!
Thanks MB, much appreciated. Regards, Charlie.
Thanks Charlie been thinking about this for awhile.Watched #1 vid and now am more wiser as to which equipment to choose thanks to you.
Thanks Mustang, I’m so pleased that you found interesting. Regards, Charlie.
As always a very informative video. I must admit as a complete beginner i am a little overwhelmed as to what is required. although i do want to venture in to air brushing i still would'nt know what compressor to use. or best air brush that doesnt brake the bank. these videos help make it a little clearer. Thanks Charlie get well soon.
Thanks Gareth, I’m so pleased that you found the video useful.
Regards. Charlie.
Finally got chance to Watch This, Another great video, very informative as usual, looking forward to part 3, Thanks for this Charlie, Regards Colin
Glad you enjoyed it Colin. Regards, Charlie.
Finally got chance to watch the 2nd Instalment, Cheers Charlie, Great Video as usual, Informative and entertaining 🙂regards Col
Thanks Colin, I’m so pleased that you found a video interesting. Regards, Charlie.
One Tip (mentioned in most airbrushing guides) is to cut down the effects of "Splatter" either until you train your muscle memory or as good practice. Start the air & paint flow off your expensive model & then bring it across when you are happy with the flow. This will require some sort of backing (Newspaper, box or spray booth). You will not be popular if you spray over £800 a roll wallpaper. Probably not for cheap B&Q or Homebase that most of us have either!
An excellent point Chris,
regards Charlie
Thank you, Charlie, for explaining the different sizes of needles and nozzles. Hope you get over the ‘jungle rot’ soon….
Thanks Rob, rest assured I’m certainly on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
There's a lot of it about, I had it last week.
I am feeling better, Douglas, at last! Regards Charlie
Very informative - thank you.
Thanks FHR, I’m pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards Charlie
Useful and entertaining at the same time, that takes some doing. There is one, admittedly minor, point: you showed how to remove the aircap for close in work, beware that you do not get too close and jab the job, you will need a new needle and if it was a hard jab then possibly the nozzle as well. You have to have a steady hand to work that close. On the subject of the air cap it is worth noting that a 'setup' may be required, a setup is the needle, nozzle and aircap. On my H&S the difference between the the two aircaps may seem too tiny to bother with but I tried swapping the aircaps to nozzle/needle and the results were expletive laden. I'm surprised the Iwatas do not have interchangeable setups, I think the Eclipse should be equal to my Evolution where the setups are interchangeable. Looking forward to the next little bell icon and get well soon.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it, Ian. However, you are right about the nozzle caps. tread carefully.
Regards, Charlie.
Thanks Charlie! Very helpful!
Thanks John, regards Charlie
Another top job Charlie. Apologies but I've not watched part one yet. You are totally right about muscle memory though. I remember my first time trying to drive my dad's car all those decades ago, an old early Austin Maxi 1750 that had let's just say a 'way' of setting off and changing gear. It was the same when I taught my self to ride a motorbike from years of being a quite keen cyclist trying to re learn that the lever on the left was not the rear brake but the clutch and that said rear brake was now operated by the foot. I guess I got used to it as I'm still here. A very interesting video so much so I guess I'll have a look at part one. Cheers Charlie, all the best.
Many thanks Anthony for running in.
Regards Charlie
Good video Charlie, it's good that you are showing "warts and all".
I've been using an Iwata "Neo" for several years now and it does me for everything!
Very much looking forward to your upcoming signalling video. Take care and I hope you feel better very soon. 😊👍
Thanks Pete, I am now much better thanks. Regards Charlie.
Thanks Charlie, didn’t know about setting the pressure with the airbrush valve open. Get well soon.
Every day’s a school day J.
Regards Charlie
Another great part to the airbrush series and found it very useful. Looking forward to Pt 3 already and get well soon. Thanks again.
Thanks Taff, rest assured I’m now on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
That was amazing, dear Charles--you managed to get us all to literally "watch paint dry" 🙂
Excellent video.
An excellent summary, Captain Mac. Regards, Charlie.
Thanks for the video. Yes I have an airbrush set up but I did not get it out of the box until now. However I started airbrush training at the club room, but the man passed away before finishing is😢. You have given me the encouragement to have another😊 go. Thanks for the video
That’s great news Steven, I wish you luck. Regards Charlie
Verry useful vidio Charlie. Also very much looking forward to the signaling vidio. Get well soon chap!
Thanks Paul, I’m on the mend.
Regards Charlie
Thanks Charlie
Another great informative video.
Mark
Thanks Mark, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards, Charlie.
Very interesting as always Charlie. I had no intention of purchasing an airbrush and that situation has not changed. (I don't mean that disrespectfully) Going back some 50+ years, my brother purchased an airbrush, and as an apprentice couldn't afford a compressor, so he used a tyre (still on the wheel) which he propped up in our bedroom and did some wonderful work on mirrors! (I was first to marry and leave home so he was glad to get a lot of extra room!)
Many thanks, John, for a look into your world. Regards, Charlie.
Such a helpful video. My biggest stumbling block to finally using my airbrush is the cleanup between and after. I think you touched on it briefly, but maybe a minute of video would make me (and perhaps others) less apprehensive. Hope you feel better very quickly - have a great week! ~Maarten
Thanks Maarten, I will certainly expand on a cleaning procedure.
Regards Charlie
Well done Charlie. I hope you get over your lurgy soon.
Cheers
Rest assured Peter, I’m now on the mend. Regards Charlie
Charlie, Thank you so much for the airbrush 101, having just bought an airbrush myself this is invaluable. I notice your lettering using the air brush is a bit shakey, I promise mine is worse. Some years ago I was lucky enough to see a sign writer at work using a 'Mahl stick' to steady his hand - not tried it myself, just a thought that came to mind. I wait with baited breathe for the next airbrush instructional.
That’s an excellent point, Scott. However, I couldn’t use the Mahler stick as I had my elbows on the table. Regards, Charlie.
Thank you for this series. I have learned a lot, especially about stopping the paint before the air. It never occurred to me to do that. Looking forward to the further episodes. 😊
Thanks Pauline, I’m so pleased that you found it useful. Regards, Charlie.
Hi Charlie. Thanks for another great video. I do hope you are soon back to full health. Pete
Thanks Pete, rest assured I’m on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
Great video as always! Thanks
You’re most welcome E100.
Regards Charlie
Charlie, brilliant again you make it seem so easy
It might just be that easy M6500.
Regards Charlie
Thanks Charlie for another informative video, as suggested from part 1 I shall keep my money in my wallet until the series in complete before diving in or not!
A wise move John. You need to price the whole project, not the individual items. Regards, Charlie.
Thanks again. One for the future for me. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Thanks Mike, that’s most kind.
Regards Charlie.
Useful tips - thx Charlie, and hope you are feeling better soon.
Thanks, James, I’m certainly on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
It would also be helpful to have a miniature spray gun like the Iwata lph-80 or G6 for the larger work and when you need anything with a smooth finish. Those small illustrator's airbrushes are really made for shading, making them perfect for weathering, but a miniature spray gun can allow yo to strip and repaint locos and rolling stock for a thinner, yet smoother and more realistic coat of paint, which will allow the full weathered finish to look better. Scale Model Workshop has the perfect video series about this! Get well soon Charlie!
A good point Fred, but we must keep our expenditure under control.
Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway ah… truly the allways limiting factor in modelling. Too true
Hi Charlie.
Thank you for another informative video.
Hope you soon feel better again.
Thanks Rose, I’m definitely on the mend. Regards Charlie
Brilliant video. Thanks for the tips. Having bought my airbrush and compressor about two years ago, I have only used it once as I was not confident. I will now spend time having a proper ‘play’ using the techniques you have shown. Well done. Also, what has put me off previously was the cleaning of the air brush. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated in a future video as the airbrush kit came with virtually no detailed instructions for disassembling and assembly!
Certainly Phil, I shall certainly include that in the next airbrush video. Regards, Charlie.
Another great video Charlie ! Very informative concerning air brushes. Must commend you for pressing on during your cold or flu . Hope you get better soon my friend ! Thanks again !
Thanks,Jeff, and rest assured, I’m now on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
Cheers, Charlie loved the comedy quips in this one 👍
Just trying to keep you entertained, Jeff. Regards, Charlie.
Thanks for that Charlie. Re air reservoirs and stuttered paint delivery- I noticed your compressor stops and starts whilst you're air brushing, surely there's some smoothing of the airflow going on? And the results you get seem very smooth. Just wondered how important a compressor with a reservoir actually is. It seems to add a lot to the price of one.
An interesting comment Richard. If I were buying new I’d probably get one with a tank, but for now, it’s fine.
Regards Charlie.
Another great and interesting video Charlie!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers Onno.
Thanks, Onno, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie.
Thanks Charlie. Hope your cough is gone soon and already looking forward to the next video 🙂
Thanks Andrew, I’m certainly on the mend. Regards Charlie
When you do your next video about weathering rolling stock etc could you include weathering track with the airbrush, I’ve seen other RUclipsrs doing it but they never explain their method. I am very new to airbrushing and need to be treated like an idiot whereas some other channels assume a level of knowledge and or skill.
No Phil. I shall do a track spraying special. Regards, Charlie.
Get Well soon. Thank you for Soldering on regardless.
Thanks NDV, that's most kind. Regards Charlie
Another masterclass, Get well soon .
Thanks David, much appreciated.
Regards Charlie
Another fantastic and informative video on airbrushes
Thanks Mark, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie.
Lovely video as always Charlie, hope you're up and running again soon. Just an aside, have you looked at the Ultimate Model Products range, which includes airbrushes (I have 2 of them which have tapered needles and nozzles), cleaners, thinners, sanding sticks et al. Not intended to be an advert or anything just a recommendation from a satisfied customer
No Steve, I have not checked them out. Clearly, I need to. Regards, Charlie.
Absolutely fascinating Charlie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Many thanks, Robert, regards Charlie.
Thanks Charlie learned some more good stuff.
Thanks four Oaks, that’s very reassuring. Regards, Charlie.
Great video Charlie. You really are a good instructor. Gave a lot of good succinct information. Think I will go practice some of this lesson and see if I can start to develop that muscle memory. Thanks again and looking forward to more like this.
Thanks Steve, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie.
I really love your videos Charlie thank you 👍
You’re more than welcome, Alan, regards Charlie
Excellent video Charlie
Thanks Mels, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie
Thanks for the concise video and lots of useful airbrush information 👍🏾
Cheers Kev
Thanks Kev, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting.
Regards, Charlie
A very good video. I am thinking of digging out my airbrush and give it a try. When I last used it I was not impressed in the results. I can't wait for the next video!
Thanks Richard, it’s great to have you on board. Regards, Charlie.
Another masterpiece Chas thank you
You’re most welcome John.
Regards Charlie
Quite a can of worms Charlie, learn something new every day, hope you recover quickly.
Thanks hot dog, I’m certainly on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
I had thought to mention after the first video. An Artist *Mahl* might be suitable as an arm rest. It helps remove arm shake.
It’s an excellent point, Derek. However, in this case it was elbows on the table. Regards, Charlie.
Nice video Charlie, i would recommend trying the Iwatta Neo trigger airbrush. It is a dual action airbrush but with a trigger and is easier to use for anyone with artharitis in there hands or having difficulty using the normal dual action brush.
Thanks Chris, a most helpful comment.
Regards Charlie.
Charlie a very well explained short video on the differences in airbrush needle sizes, on the the first airbrush you used you seemed to be adjusting the back of the needle, would I be correct in thinking that you were increasing or decreasing the amount of paint available ? Great Video Terry
Yes, that’s correct Terry, that particular airbrush has a flow limiter.
Regards, Charlie.
Interesting stuff Charlie. What rabbit hole have you lead me down? Now I am getting YT suggestions from Airbrush University and Airbrush Asylum. I did get a Paasche air brush and compressor several years ago but have not used it much. This may be the kick I need to get going.
It appears that Big Brother is definitely watching you! Regards, Charlie
Thanks again so useful keep taking the meds
Thanks Michael, rest assured I’m on the mend. Regards, Charlie.
well well well, isnt it funny that i got the notification for this while browsing for airbrushes online 😂
Glad to be of service mate.
However,m beware, big brother is obviously watching you.
Regards, Charlie.
"I can't be responsible for your health and safety". I'm barely able to watch over my own!!
We are all rather blasé on this one, Chris. Regards, Charlie.
Found both of these videos both enlightening and enjoyable Charlie, really good stuff and for someone just beginning in the hobby very useful. Would you consider doing something similar on DCC control systems? I am realising that if I want to guess the best out of my DCC sound locomotives the right system is so important and its a considerable investment. I haven't even started to consider all the other advantages / disadvantages in regards to number of points, slow running, signals etc.
Thanks, Paul, that’s very reassuring. Regarding DCC, I really don’t have the across system knowledge to do it. Regards, Charlie.
Looking forward to the next video👍
You and me both Charlie
Your abilities and willingness to share with us is inspiring to me
Very interesting and informative thank you looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks Arthur, that’s most kind.
Regards Charlie
awesome video charlie
Thanks Christopher, much appreciated. Regards, Charlie.
BR Blue is a beautiful colour dont you think?, sorry to hear you're feeling unwell, sending you my very best regards and wish you a speedy recovery
Thanks Tez, I am much better thanks.
Regards Charlie.
thanks for the video ,, I have been advised/told by other modellers that distilled water is better for using with water based paints,,any comments on that ??
Hi John, I do know that Vellejo paints definitely work better with their own thinners. This could well be true of other more expensive brands.
Regards Charlie.
Again a very interesting video Charlie!!! I liked very much! Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno, much appreciated.
Regards Charlie
It's a common misconception that 'acrylics' means the paint is water based. Mann's Model Minutes YT channel just did a very good video regarding exactly what acrylic paints really are. If you've not seen it it's worth watching.
Thanks, Flyboy, I shall check it out. Regards, Charlie.
Great video!
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you found an interesting. Regards, Charlie.
Great info Charlie. My wife was in sakes for 3M gif many years so I have the mask and a few other goodies.
Can you expand a bit on thinning down the paints. I have seen others who continually thin down their paints ?
Have never seen the trick of removing the nose cover, very cool.
You might get to it later, how do you paint a loco or coach ?
That might be in Episode 3
Thanks for sharing
Please check out the previous video, I did explain about paint thinning.
Hopefully you’ll enjoy the next one.
Regards Charlie
Charlie, as always great stuff, as a slight curve ball, might seem a bit daft, but…. Masking! Not putting a mask on, but masking off a paint job, methods and types, newbies even oldies may well find advise useful? Cheers for this, second curve ball, what’s happened to McKinley?
Hi Vic, you make a useful suggestion. McKinley, is just taking a rest from the video world. Regards Charlie.
Again another useful video thank you charlie
You’re most welcome Peter.
Regards Charlie
More good stuff Mr B.
Where was the airhose running? I couldn’t quite see. I am right handed and rather than the hose dropping down inside my arm, I like to position it over my arm so the hose drops down on the outside. I find that then when I move my arm the weight of the hose (even though minimal) doesn’t pull on the actual airbrush so much and helps me get better fine detail.
You’ll be airbrush painting your own backscenes soon.
As for the cold, Navy rum?
Hi DakDak. Snap, I run the hose exactly the same.
Rest assured that I’m now on the mend, with a little help from
Dr Laphroaig!
Regards Charlie
Great video and after that deft work with the airbrush I have to ask - Are you Banksy?
Sadly, my secret is out there. Regards Charlie (Banksy).
I may have missed it but how do you know what size needle you have? I have two older brushes and I don't remember seeing what size the needles are. Fact is I didn't know you could get different size needles.
Also, what size do you recommend for what job? Ex: I need to do a whole bunch of weathering but I also have to repaint a few engines.
To be honest, Bob, I have no idea. However, I would go for a .35 mm needle size such as the Iwata eclipse. Regards Charlie.
Thanks for the video, Charlie!
Have you used the really fine settings for the airbrush? Like when you paint a very fine line, even when you first started doing those 4 wavy lines, have you ever used your airbrush to do anything like that? I've found that basically I use my airbrush as a slightly more precise spraycan, so I don't use it to do really fine stuff, but basically being able to mix my own paint and have it atomized much more finely. Finely? Sure. I guess I might be able to use it for track weathering, but it hasn't seemed like doing it that close has been necessary, and I'm looking to find other applications for my own airbrush.
Thanks!
Thanks Andrew. This is very much a learning curve for me. Rest assured that I do intend to apply fine sprays where necessary. Regards Charlie
Confirmed: Charlie is Banksie!! ;)
Drat, my secret is out there. Regards, Charlie.
Oh Charlie, you absolute trooper! 😄 That’s the trouble with being a one-man-band: if you’re ill, there’s no one else to bang the drum or twang the banjo 🪕 🥁 🤣
Likewise it’s hard to sing with no lungs 🫁 It’s good that these things are taken seriously now. I cringe when I look at the care-free macho crap I used to experience on sites when I earned money as a cleaner-upper/tea boy for my uncle’s work parties. How they managed to do all that AND smoke about 40 roll-ups a day…well I guess that’s why they all looked ancient when they were actually only in their 40s! 😳
Funnily enough, you mention physics (which I say is anything but boring 😉), because I have found that, contrary to the generally held belief that ‘you don’t learn nuffink useful at school’, it has been invaluable in helping me understand how to build things in my head and how to sufficiently over-engineer things so they won’t fall down, disintegrate or tip off-balance 🤔 Most importantly, it meant I was able to combine it with my construction experience to make solid baseboards for railways 🤩
Have a great weekend Charlie, this tutorial is giving me plenty of knowledge I’m going to use when I get my workspace sorted out 👍🍻 🍀
Thanks Tim, it’s comments such as yours that make the whole thing worthwhile. Regards Charlie
Mr Bishop by the way news from the railway circle group they're doing a proposal of a museum and I told them that they'll let me build a layout for the exhibition, it is going to be a lot of work
Sorry Tom, “you told them, that they would let you”.
Seems an odd arrangement.
Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway oh right, sorry the thing is we don't know whereabouts we are putting on a museum really, we'll let you know
good vid on air brush keep up the good vid on channel i got a air brush set up and paint booth with fan in it i be doing vid on my air brush set up soon on my channel thanks lee
Thanks Lee, I’ll keep my eye out for it.
Regards Charlie
Charlie, can we have an update on the Ultasonic Cleaner please. Is it still working? is worth investing in?
I do still use mine but I don’t know how it stacks up against the competition.
Regards Charlie
As a (fairly) long-time airbrush user I have been told that ultrasonic cleaners can actually damage needles and nozzles in the long run (not sure why)
Mr Bishop, it has been too long, we first meet at NEC Birmingham event a year ago or is it 2 years?
Time just flies by Tom!
Regards Charlie
Why are you using cartridge filters that are over 2 years out of date 02/2022?
Great spot, the new ones “Still” haven’t arrived! Regards Charlie
You just don't want Margeret to know how much you spent Charlie
Shhh Martyn, it’s a secret!
