Looking forward to this series. This is something I've wanted to start learning. Please include spraying acrylic paints as well as different types of dyes such as oil or alcohol-based dye. Also, a little longer video with more content would be great when you get into the meat of this.
@@DanielReachCreationsI think I just asked a similar question about dyes. 🤔 I need all the help I can get! Learning about and how to use an airbrush and dying leather as well! 🫣 Giggle-giggle!!!
I know I've said it before but I'm going to say it again and again.... your presentation style and enthusiasm are a fantastic compliment to Chuck's. That having been said ,.. again I 1st had to look up what vignette meant lol and oddly its something I've been wanting to learn. Thus far my airbrush has only done fades. Exited to expand my experience and knowledge along your journey. Another fantastic tutorial. Keep up the outstanding work.
Thank you for this video. I’ve haven’t tried airbrushing yet so this gave me a lot of good pointers. Really appreciate your honest assessment of Weavers airbrush kit.
I actually just picked up an airbrush, I had not thought about the respirator aspect (I keep p100 respirator around for rock carving... so good thing to know that I need to use it for this as well)
Glad you explained that I have a similar unit in black by Violamart and the airbrush gun is the same as you have but so far have only used water based dyes through it and not doing any intricate work just spraying small wallet projects. Maybe we need video on cleaning and maintenance the gun now.👍🏻👍🏻
As someone with a lot of air brush experience, you tackled a tough subject. There are so many different styles of airbrushes, it's hard to know what to cover in a short video like this. The Weaver kit looks like a decent setup especially for the price, however if you are new to airbrushing the learning curve for finger control is steeper with a double action than single. I've been airbrushing for 40 years, but leather working for 4 months so I wanted to check your video out
Thanks Doug. You're one of the few that I've come across thats got more exp than I do. I started in my early 20s. I'm in my mid/late 40s now. Double action definitely takes a bit more time to learn, but we could also say that about a swivel knife vs a traditional blade. In the end, it's better to build the best habit from the start vs breaking an old habit to learn a new one. I'd love to see your work some day.
@@DanielReachCreations Yes, just so much more control with a double action! I was so thrilled when they came out with the controls like a full size spray gun from all my years of painting cars. That's my go to now. I believe more people would like an airbrush if they weren't afraid of cleaning and maintaining one. Hopefully you have a vid on that soon. I was thinking of modeling clay to help me learn the swivel knife instead of messing up lots of leather. Most of my airbrushing has been on models but I've done shirts, motorcycles and people lol. You can check out a little bit of it on Pappy Tinkers. I want to check out more of yours too!
@@dougmulle2627 I'll definitely have a video on how to break it down in the near future. The modeling clay is a great idea! If I give you credit for that, would you mind if I use it in a video? My only concern is how the clay would effect the blade. I.E. - would it dull the blade
@@DanielReachCreations By all means you can use that idea. Perhaps keeping a leather strop near to keep the practice of stropping the blade before each project? I'll try it this week and get back on results, or if you try it first. I have like zero natural artistic ability but leather and airbrushing are fun and easy. And getting more people involved with the hobbies is a good thing
Well im glad i found this. I have been looking at airbrushes to do better fades with dye. I only work inside as im in a small apartment without outdoors access. Looks like ill be sticking with sponges abd being careful.
More airbrushing videos would be great. With limited experience I've gotten really good and not so good results. Please remember, how too and NOT how too. Big thanks.
Thank you Daniel thank you Weaver.informative video. I would’ve liked to have seen you use it on a little piece of leather in this video. But as you said in the movie it was coming out. I’d like to see how the of the fade is done.
I use my airbrush mostly for applying Tan Kote and Resolene, since both can smear dye and paint. To hold pieces vertically, I prop them on a small easel that I bought at Michael’s. One of the important aspects you didn’t cover is keeping the airbrush clean (especially the needle valve).
A name for your how about weaver leather school try : The Leather air-bender and more. Or maybe Leather air ending. If this worked for, i will see it in your title. Either way, you have a great school thank you for the courses.
I like that full face kind of mask, I have the nose/mouth type that works pretty good but hard to wear glasses with it so I'm checking these full face ones but most have a warning that they are NOT glass wearing friendly 😞 so the search continues. As to only using this outside, winter will be tough! I have a WEN air purifier that I run to help keep the air around my work area in the basement a little bit cleaner, but maybe that isn't enough, it's a largish area so not a confined small room...
@@DanielReachCreations Garage has the car, not much room otherwise, my usage is pretty low, not long sessions, mainly to apply leather dye to my small sheaths I make so a short time frame of using the airbrush, my first time using one and it really applies a great even coating, far better than using a dauber in my opinion ;-)
There are plenty of solutions for your issues with model building videos. Building a spray booth, venting and so on. Plus many mask options including supplied air that comes from to compressor or outside, similar to what car painters use. The nice thing to remember is that the dyes for leather isn't as nasty as automotive paints, but don't take that as it's safe to breath. With a small fan and vent system you will be plenty safe
Full face masks are not for people with glasses. I have the same issue. Check for respirator helmets or headgear respirators. Other name is also PAPR. But these are more expensive than full face masks or normal repsirators.
Also remember that with the lower pressures and tiny volume of fluid, that over spray isn't much of an issue unless you are doing big projects like saddles. I don't think I've ever gotten paint from an airbrush on my glasses in 40 years of using them
I recommend the full-face mask. If you can find a hood to wear with it, do so. Otherwise you are liable to wind up with an odd color tan line and hair. Full-face masks can be worn with glasses, as long as you aren't wearing thick armed, or wide framed glasses. I wear a close fit steel arm set that seals with my respirator mask. Most safety supply shops will let you test fit masks to ensure correct fit. DO NOT USE A SIMPLE PAPER MASK! IT WILL NOT STOP THE VAPOR FROM COMING THROUGH!
Hello Dan, total newbie here. 2nd year holster maker looking for kit for resolene application, in this video you say this compressor is not good for clear coat. I will want to utilize water based dyes also. Please give me your educated opinion on what specific inexpensive portable airbrush kit will be best for my primary intended use, resolene application.
Nice video and looking forward to the series. Thinking about a name. In the interim, as an airbrush Jedi, what is your impression of the cordless airbrushes that have recently made an appearance in the market? Do they generate enough air pressure like you were talking about in the above video? I have seen some review videos, but nothing regarding leather work. Thanks.
Nice to see someone knowledgeable talking about using the airbrush. Very solid advice for those new to airbrushing. However, the alcohol or solvent based paints will cause cardiac or nervous system damage long before permanent lung damage. All paints will cause lung damage. Pigment lines the inside of the lung and can not be shed. Too much, and you can't get oxygen into the body. Respirator rule of thumb, if you can smell it, you're breathing it in. If it's odorless and you have colored boogers the next day, you were breathing it in as well.
"bager" had a decent small compressor. and get an in line air filter with water trap. helps keep crud out of your airbrush. if you are switching between colors a lot, I used a siphon feed airbrush, and its a steep learning curve to get your line control down to a decent level. over spray is always an issue, and since leather will absorb none of it, it really should not be done in the house, or near your car in the garage. . think about using a normal spray paint can and the over spray.
Hi Daniel, I’m new to this and looking to learn how to dye leather using an airbrush. So can you use water based dyes or acrylic dyes to airbrush dye your leathers? Or are they the same?
Very well done sir! I noticed the mottled shading, but I’m guessing that compressor just doesn’t have the beans to atomize well at full throttle. It looks like the hose is 1/4” NPT, which is fantastic. I’d be interested to see how the brush performs with a better air supply. Will there be a future video of breaking down and cleaning the brush? Maybe with some troubleshooting too? That might help people who are new to airbrushing and haven’t gotten in trouble yet with the boss because their hands and fingernails look like kaleidoscope puke.
You are 100% correct! The mottled shading you mentioned is called an "orange peel effect" and is due to the lower air pressure. If it were running at 25-35 psi it would have more of a smokey effect. I can tell you that I've run this brush on my personal compressor and it performs almost as good as my $200 Iwata airbrush. And yes...definitely going to be doing a video on how to break it down and clean it. Trouble shooting gets to be a little tricky simply because it's hard to think of all the ways an aibrush can function incorrectly. Great ideas though!
@@DanielReachCreations What an awesome deal for someone getting into airbrushing. It sounds like the brush is on par with say, a Paasche Talon, and comes close to the ever impressive Eclipse. The kit price is killer. I paid more for my first brush (a Paasche Millennium), and it didn’t come with a compressor. Looks like Weaver knocked it out of the park with this one. I was thinking on the troubleshooting, maybe glazing over the basics, like bad spray pattern = clogged or cracked fluid tip. Spitting spots, could have tip dry. I see how those issues would only pop up if using stuff like Resolene or paint though, something other than dye. Again, great job on the video.
Hi Daniel, glad you addressed this. This is def. A low volume compressor. I have been looking at numerous compressors for the same psi you use, but have not yet purchased. I want this to be a one and done. Would you please share your airbrush/compressor set up that you use? Am currently looking at purchasing the Iwata Eclipse airbrush. TIA.
Can i use an airbrush to apply resolene? And if so do run just straight resolene through it or should i cut it with water or something, and if so what ratio do i cut it with. Thanks.
You can, but you do have to filter it first (very important!) and then thin it so it's about 40% resolene, 60% water. Spray with a large nozzle and clean after each use. Details provided by leatherworker.net
The issue I always had with airbrushing leather (I used it only on thick leather so that might be the issues) is that over time the dye would absorb more and it would fade to the point you cannot even see it anymore. It would look great at first and then 3 months later look like crap. Because of this I stopped using the airbrush. Let me know if you know of a way to make this not happen. Thank you
Personally I only use dye in an airbrush for shading the edges of projects. If that fades, its not as big of a deal. The reason its fading over time, is because the airbrush puts on a lighter layer of dye. It doesn't penetrate as deeply. Only solution I can see would be to put multiple layers on over the course of several days.
@@DanielReachCreations That is what I figured from my experience. Sadly even acrylic paint absorbs over time as I was able to do some pretty amazing lighting effects on leather but after about 6 months it was all absorbed into the leather and it just looked black :(
It's an instructional video showing how to use it! We didn't have anything besides the instructions that come with the machine and have had lots of questions on airbrushing.
I was, but that was paint and not dye. I should have been wearing a respirator, but its easy to forget sometimes. That being said, acrylic paint isn't nearly as dangerous.
@@DS-um9hi that's wat I was talking about bur wasn't completely sure on the time, lol I've smoked 2 packs a day for 20 yrs plus other stuff, dealt with pretty bad chemicals where I was suppose to wear ppe, but never got threatened like this by a lung transplant
@@reapersritehand I mean we have all probably done silly things in our time but on the balance of risk for a hobby I will stick do the old sponge or dauber!
I think Weaver should have done more homework when getting involved with air brushing. I would have thought that they would have gone for a better all inclusive compressor. After all if you are purchasing a kit, you want to be able to do it all. That includes a better compressor. I doubt it would have cost too much more than the one they are offering.
I'm asking this genuinely: throughout the first half of the video he says "always outside" "always wear a mask" etc. Then we see him repeatedly using the airbrush indoors with his face inches away from the project. So which is it?
Good question. When I talk about "always outside" I'm specifically taking about dye. When you see me airbrushing indoors, I'm using acrylic paints. I should still be wearing a mask, but I get lazy sometimes.
#1 tip for respirator use,... if you smell ANYTHING while using it, it is not sealing. #2 tip for respirator use,... you CANNOT "seal" your face over a beard. 3M and all other respirator manufacturers will tell you that the beginning point to fit testing is a "clean shaven face". Sorry, Daniel!
Funny how you talk about the dyeing outdoors and the P type filter and in the next shot you're indoors without one spraying away!
Looking forward to this series. This is something I've wanted to start learning. Please include spraying acrylic paints as well as different types of dyes such as oil or alcohol-based dye. Also, a little longer video with more content would be great when you get into the meat of this.

Would airbrushing be a good way to dye belts, 10oz veg tan? Does it dye the leather good enough that it would hold up good on a belt? for years
Yes, airbrushing is a great way to get a nice, even color on leather and it should not wear off.
The issue I always had with airbrushing leather (I used it only on thick leather so that might be the issues) is that over time the dye would absorb more and it would fade to the point you cannot even see it anymore.

@DanielReachCreations angelus paint is non toxic so surely just by using it with a spray gun won't make it toxic? 😂
haha and he's doing it inside without a mask xD
Hopefully, you're not using dye for your demonstration. I noticed you weren't wearing the respirator.
Correct. I was using acrylic paint. Technically I should have been wearing a mask then too.
#1 tip for respirator use,... if you smell ANYTHING while using it, it is not sealing.
#2 tip for respirator use,... you CANNOT "seal" your face over a beard.
3M and all other respirator manufacturers will tell you that the beginning point to fit testing is a "clean shaven face". Sorry, Daniel!
Agreed... that's one of the reasons I use dye outside.
