I bought an airbrush and haven't actually used it yet so this might get me going finally lol. Good video.

Crazy thing is that I still see really good painters using a premium airbrush with a tiny needle for priming, I still don't know why 😂😂

Zoli,<br>This is a very useful and informative video. I’m one of the many people who sit on the outside because I’m scared to use the airbrush. This definitely decreases my fear as a 0.5 millimeter needle sounds very forgiving and a great starter point for me! Thanks a million!

Great video! I’m new to airbrushing minis so just trying things, failing, trying something else. Found out today I have much better results with a .5 for now. Thanks for the info!

I love the Gaalerhi brushes. But I need a better compressor to support two brushes.

Ive had an airbrush for 2 years but didn't start using it until just recently because of your videos, so im learning. Something I struggle with is what air pressure for each needle size.

Tip dry you will get with any brand of acrylic paint ,not one brand of has ever cured the problem with tip .<br>You even get it with and cellulose paint , though with cellulose paint it become far less of a problem .<br>My advice to reduce tip dry with acrylic is use a drop or two of ISO in your mix experiment with this as it does work.
