[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cjm89 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by YNCS [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cjm89 As soon as I learn how to use my airbrush....[/quote] When I first got an airbrush I practiced on shirt cardboard. It's quite cheap, the finished side holds paint in a similar way to styrene, and I could make meaningless mistakes as I learned out to use the brush. BTW, you do have a spray booth, don't you? [/quote] No spray booth, but I thought about using shirt cardboard to paint on. Sometime next year when Micro-Mark has it's summer sale I might get that $270 Badger one. [/quote] I quote from Jeff Wilson's Painting and Weathering Railroad Models, Chapter 2 "Equipment and Safety": First off, never--that means never--airbrush an organic-solvent paint indoors unless you use a spray booth that is vented outdoors. This warning applies to spray cans as well. Simply opening a window,even with a fan in it, is not enough to safely get ride of the solvent vapors. [emphasis in original] Jeff is absolutely correct. Put away the Floquil paints until you have a spray booth. Definitely bad jo-jo
