James RickardSome airbrush basics
January 1st 2009 02:09
Say what? Fishing? Air brushes? What's the connection?
If you're into making you own lures, you may want to use an airbrush and this is a good primer. I had to learn the hard way and there's enough info out there that nobody should go through that!
This may be the best 10 minutes you'll ever invest. If you don't have 10 minutes definitely watch the first five minutes.
I like the fact that he actually says it's okay to chose paint based on price. Considering that, although the painting of lures may is pretty simple, you DON'T want to try diluting tempera paints or Crayola paints. They both are hard to cleanly mix, have a gritty residue, and end up making a sputtering mess in your airbrush.
You don't have to try and break the bank when looking for an airbrush if all you're going to do is paint lures. I have a cheap brush and a fairly high quality bush but, it turns out that I use each of them equally.
