Hello Gavin,
Second try:.......With great interest I follow your blog. I did see your work using air-brush. I like to do also some experiments with it. Can you give me some informations about the tools(kind of pen,....) you use for using leatherpaint on alcohol base?
Kind regards
Toon Van Camp
hi toon ...no problem and thanks for your interest
i use an iwata brush, japanese, i use a head that gives me a small diameter, i forget which exactly.....as for the dyes, most of the effective dyes i use are alcohol, or spirit based, the coloring is more effective...however mixing does provide for problems.
