  1. one more link to a no-name brand: https://spraygunner.com/portable-hobby-spray-booth-by-no-name-brand/
  2. Curt, Take a look at this product on ebay as a possible guide for your solution. I didn't check CFM specs on the fan, but it seems like it could be something you could be looking for. I would think there are other, better units out there. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VIVOHOME-Airbrush-Spray-Paint-Booth-Kit-w-LED-Exhaust-Filter-Hobby-Painting-Set-/293349538518?hash=item444cfebad6
  3. Just shot my Tamiya M4A3E8 with Stynylrez. I used my .5mm needle Iwata Neo (dedicated primer AB) at 30 psi, and spray straight from the bottle. It dries pretty quickly and self levels wonderfully. Straighforward to clean too. It is an acrylic, and needs to cure fully to sand properly. I am quite happy with it. I have not had problems with tamiya, Mr Color , AK interactive Real Color, or Extreme Metal paints adhering. Check this thread out: plus, these two videos sold me a while back. and A nice online ho
  4. Wow! All of your builds look magnificent!
  5. holy crap, thats nearly one a week with superlative skills! Amazing! Where do you find the time?
  6. awesome product, and available (in USA) locally via hobby lobby's (40% discount applicable). 👍👍
  7. Rob, thanks for the reply and link. It sounds like you have walked thru this minefield before!!!!! Still, I am curious if anyone has opinions on the Canon PIXMA TS9521C Wireless printer? It seems to come with a white cartridge. Canon claims it has a max resolution of 4800x1200.
  8. Saw a thread here from 2009, and was wondering if a decade has made a difference in any recommendations for printing, paper, etc. Printer wise, what would the minimum recommended resolution be? At a price point of ~500.00, what would you all recommend? Laser or inkjet? Are there any printers that work better for decal work?
  9. yes it does. check the link here: https://www.dremel.com/en_US/products/-/show-product/tools/220-01-workstation next to last bullet point. Manual here: https://www.dremel.com/documents/20812/137350/220+workstation+416.pdf/e23f3e58-7207-930a-fd57-eb02fb40a451 page 10, item 2. HTH
  10. EF, I should have searched ARC first! Apologies to all. This seems to roll it up in a nutshell: Searching here is quite enlightening! there has been a lot of discussions here, and one can learn alot just from browsing thru time here.
  11. Did you thin the paint? Did you give the paint time to off gas the propellant? The following older link seemed to have decent suggestions, though it seems to speak to tamiya specifically. Maybe it can be helpful for your circumstance. http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/tools_techniques_and_reference_materials/f/18/t/156022.aspx
  12. Dave, Once you try airbrushing, you will love it! I have been happy thru the past 2+ years with this california air tools compressor. super quiet, has a tank, and is lightweight, (making it ideal for car work, and other handyman things) https://www.ultraquietaircompressor.com/California-Air-Tools-5510A-Ultra-Quiet-Oil-Free-Compressor-CAT-5510A.htm I would also recommend a combination air regulator/moisture trap, to give you the air pressure control and dry air needed. Airbrush wise, use the 40% off at hobby lobby and pick up either the iwata eclipse hp-cs, or neo
  13. Do you have a link to share with us?
  14. All good! You and your wife have a good heart rescuing pets, i commend you both for that! Everything i have read has been "moisture traps closer to the airbrush are better". However, given an eye on the budget, I would try the bigger trap/regulator (two functions in one unit) first, and see if that setup sputters spraying onto newspaper. I would also try this on days of highest humidity, to see what happens. If the trap/regulator doesn't work, you can either limit your paint times to when it is drier, or add the trap that attaches to the airbrush. I li
  15. What Mstor said! Plus, to help out even more, inline after my compressor and before my airbrush lines, I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/PointZero-Airbrush-Compressor-Regulator-Water-Trap/dp/B004KNAHF6/ref=sr_1_8?crid=15R15EZ5IMUBB&keywords=iwata+moisture+trap&qid=1555345352&s=gateway&sprefix=iwata+moisture+%2Cbeauty%2C144&sr=8-8 then on my airbrush hose before the quick disconnect, I have the iwata version of what mstor posted (it was part of my iwata eclipse purchase at hobby lobby here in the states) https://www.hobbylobby
  16. Anthony, I agree completely that having the driest air is the best. Water traps(the way that I do it), a vapor condenser (as you mention), or alternate gas sources like a CO2 or Nitrogen tank are all good ways to mitigate the slop. 👍
  17. Anthony, Indeed, I read your earlier (from april 1) comment the way you just explained your point. However, I think the comment(habu2, correct me if I am wrong), was more of a comment on semantics. The moisture (water vapor, humidity...and so on) was already there, as part of the ambient air, so it couldn't have been "created" (by the compressor). JoeB
  18. Yes sir! Fortunately, I work in Maryland, and enjoy ~.20 cent per gallon break on gasoline when i fill up there. My only (very slight) concern about the tax is that an amount of the tax is used to fund the PA State Police. Yes, they do a wonderful job patrolling our highways here in the keystone state, but they ARE (way) more than traffic cops here. For those that cannot afford a police department, the State Police are used providing that coverage. it will be interesting to see what kind of taxing system will be put in place here in the USA for road maintenance post Internal Co
  19. Rod, Your dilemma is a bit more complicated now. Others, my purchase from Lockheed2004 went superbly. Quick shipping and quality packing. Wonderful transaction.
  20. According to scalemates, it is.
  21. I am using my neo CN to shoot primers, as well as duracoat. I found it ok for this application. I was able to snag it NIB for 25.00 from a person exiting the hobby, selling it here on ARC. The CN comes with a .35 needle, and only a .5 needle is optional (std on the siphon feed neo BCN). ref: https://sites.google.com/site/donsairbrushtips/neo-for-iwata I truly love my iwata eclipse HP-CS. It is also available at hobby lobby. I purchased mine there, using their 40% discount (at the time, applicable to this airbrush) It also comes standard with a .35 needle, (with, again,
