      Mask up well when spraying Windshield Washer fluid. Methanol, the main ingredient in windshield washing fluid, is extremely poisonous. Inhaling Alcohol even in small amounts can cause issues. Be aware both are very toxic.

Meh have been user error but I eliminated the windshield fluid and use Vallejo airbrush thinner. It was discouraging but I’m going to make another attempt

    Finally after watching sooooo many videos I come across one hobbiest who strains his paint. It is amazing the little cruds in there even in a new bottle of paint. Thank you for showing this aspect of your process. Some paints such as Alclad II lacquers may not need straining but craft paint definitely. Household sudsy ammonia will help clean your strainer if it gets too grungy, odor kind of strong so be careful. Cheers

    • @leewright653
      @leewright653 7 місяців тому

      Thank you I appreciate that, yes no matter how well you mix craft paints the strainer is a must if you are planning to use it in your airbrush. Those small particles of paint will get in there and cause clogs.

    • @esbenrasmussen4289
      @esbenrasmussen4289 6 місяців тому

      Absolutely right, Alclad is a lacquer and it works by evaporation, when the nitro cellulose thinner has evaporated the paint is dry. And as long as the resin is in the medium it will stay wet. With these "new" water borne acrylics it quite different. These paints don't really dry, they cure when they come into contact with air. So that means every time we shake the bottle or stir the paint we are curing small pieces of it. This os also why Alclad has no tip dry while water borne acrylics do.

      Really you should be straining EVERYTHING you put through your airbrush. From primers, to paints, to clear coats. It's just good practice. You can buy 100 disposable paint strainers for like $5-6.

    Never saw it done like this. Took me awhile to learn to thin my paints. I use just water, like 3 drops and 2 drops of craft paint. 8 out of 10 times this works for me. I get great results. Never once thought to strain it and just run it through the gun. I might have to try this at some point. Great idea!
