Just thought I would post this video. It might be useful for forum members that are just starting out on using an Airbrush.

Great vidio steiner,that idea of useing windex glass cleaner is the best bargin going.Just in airbrush thinner i've spent 16.00 dollars on this Tiger so far.Like 5.80 per bottle.Also useing auto wash to thin is a lot cheaper.Again great vidio,and your tiger looks great.And shipping you and oz DHL is because my sister has worked for them 25yrs,and gets a great discount. Keep up the good work, SAX

SAX, you are one funny guy Me and Oz in one box flown over by DHL. Every time I read that, the thought of it cracks me up .
Glad you like the vid. I know it is demonstrating a gravity fed AB, but most of it is still relevant to other types of ABs What wasn't stated and what is VERY important is that you should ALWAYS spray in a very well ventilated room and use an appropriate mask for what paints/ varnishes that you are using. This is what I was recommended for spraying acrylics. http://www.paintandbeatz.com/store/?id=1467
A word of Warning though, I have found out that this mask would be no good for spraying some types of varnishes/ solvents, these are classed as -isocyanate based and can contain some nasty additives that could be dangerous to your health. So as you only get one pair of lungs, I would check out the small print on the Tin/jar/bottle before using
Cheers.

Re: Airbrushing basics, changing colors, disassembly, airbrush
Thats interesting, I use a 3M reperator as well (tho not the same model). Mine claims to keep out organic vapours, and as I can't smell anything while I'm spraying I assume that its doing its job I'll have to check up on it when I'm home...
