Subject: Airbrush Author: Angela [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:23:24 03/02/11 Wed Author Host/IP: cache-dtc-ab14.proxy.aol.com/205.188.116.78 In reply to: TIA 's message, "I can't get an answer any where.x_x I know you can use Apple Barrel paint to airbrush with, however I don't know hat kind or even how much thinner to use? Help!" on 20:39:21 02/26/11 Sat I airbrush and LOVE it! I just mess around with it until it comes out looking good. No wrong way. You will know when you added to much water and if it's to thick it will get clogged. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I am trying to find something a little easier than using the fabric paint and trashing my dryer (: I thought my husband was going to die of a heart attach... Anyways how do you airbrush the fabric...do you airbrush the dress when it is complete or spray the fabric first? Thanks for your help! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Let it dry and I have put in the dryer after it's dry and seem to do fine. There is paints for airbrushing fabric that Hobby Lobby sells. It is sooo much easier. Dry time is super fast and you can do one layer after another. I also do my trims. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I am using a hobby airbrush gun with compressor but it seems to be taking a long time to spray them. I have been spraying for an hour now and still am nowhere near finished. I think it is faster to make them :) Thanks again for any help! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Be careful not to let too much come out at once. It takes me about 2 hours to spray a skirt, bodice and lace. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Tiffany [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:44:27 03/16/11 Wed Author Host/IP: h189.136.255.206.cable.pnbl.cablelynx.com/206.255.136.189 This airbrush talk makes me curious. It sounds so much neater than dip dyeing. Do you need the fabric medium? Does your fabric get stiff? I would be willing to buy an airbrush gun if it was not as messy and did just as a job as dip dyeing. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It took me well over 3 hours to spray it and I have still been touching it up. I was not happy with the finished product. With that said I do love the way the airbrush looks. It is very pretty. I realize the first time I used the airbrush method was going to take longer but I think I could get a more even coloring with dipping and faster too (even with cleaning the dryer). My DH went and found a cord that is like an extension cord for the dryer when I can plug in another dryer...needless to say I will soon have a "dye" dryer in the garage to trash. I really wish the airbrush system would have worked out for me because I do like it. I just don't have time to waste when I have other orders to fill. Maybe it is the impatient factor in my genes :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
