| 10- Why should I test out before I do my project? | -This is good advice from a lot of people who have been there before. The stark truth is that you have no clue what's going to happen and what you're going to run into. If you're going to work on a "new-to-you" surface/paint combination, test it out on an unseen area or some material that isn't the project itself. The pros do it because they know that they're saving time and money, not to mention grief and frustration. | |||
| 11- What's the biggest problem most people using airbrushes deal with? | -Cleaning, followed by not cleaning thoroughly. Airbrushes are similar to cars. There are certain things you have to do in order to keep you car and your airbrush running smoothly aside from gas in the tank and paint in the cup. Cars need to have the fluids in the engine and the air in the tires checked every so often. In the same manner, airbrushes need to be rinsed out between colors (or clients as the case may be) and thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis. | |||
| 12- What is masking? | -Masking - or in airbrush jargon, frisketing - is any system which blocks spray from invading specific areas of an artwork or surface. Typical systems include stencils, masking material, frisket film, templates, tape, or found objects. An object's use as a stencil is limited only by the imagination and creativity of the artist. | |||
| 13- Is airbrushing safe? | -Yes, but use common sense. Remember that you are spraying materials into the environment and neither you no anyone else should inhale them. It is essential to work with good ventilation and exhaust fans, if not an airbrush spray booth, and to wear the appropriate respirator when spraying toxic materials such as automotive paint, aceton etc. These materials are toxic, highly flammable, organic liquids. |
