66 years old and just getting into airbrushing

[Malky]

Can you tell me the best way to strain the paint? Thanks

I usually cut a little square out of old pantyhose/nylon stockings, fold that over a couple of times then stretch it over the neck of the bottle, simply screw the top back on to hold it in place and it strains as you go, for mixed colours I did the same with squeeze bottles you can buy empty if you needed them, just look for "tattoo squeeze bottles" on eBay and such, they're fairly cheap depending on where you find them.

Welcome to the hobby and welcome to the forum! Sounds like you are pretty well set on paint .

What Malky says works. He told me a good while back to do this and still do to this day.

190 bottles wow, what a score !

mix throughly with a stir stick / bamboo skewer first to make sure you get the sludge off the bottom

 

[ronzer]

Thanks for all the good info guys.
I will be doing all the above.

You can just resize them using paint or any other photo editing program

 

[JackEb]

LOL, you beat me to it Herb
found one of your old posts

="Mr.Micron, post: 233592, member: 39"]Paint that comes with windows works get for resizing , I choose pixels and set it to 1600X1200 which makes them go from 2MB (way to big for forum) to about 127 to 300 KB,

Well being I am too old school to know anything about those smart dumb phones someone else will have to guide you on how to resize them

That is going to keep you going for awhile !
just remember that the 'createx airbrush colors' are a textile paint.

I keep looking for a rack like that, rare as rocking horse here,
