Hi all!
I normally use my Iwata Revolution CR - it's a dual action, gravity fed brush - but I recently picked up an Iwata Revolution SAR - it's a siphon system. This is the first siphon brush I've ever used. I use the airbrushes to build scale plastic models - I normally use lacquer, enamels and acrylics. It came with one bottle but would like to pick up more ... my questions about this new system are:
1) Are the siphon bottles/tubes universal - to where all bottles can work with all brushes or do I need to only buy Iwata bottles? I'm concerend specifically with the tube and whether there are different sizes per brand, etc...
2) Is there a different bottle needed for single action as opposed to dual action. As I'm shopping around I'm seeing a distinction.
3) Is glass better than plastic? I paint with Laquers, enamels and acrylics. Other than the transparency issue.
4) What is the standard size? The size that works for most paint jobs? 1oz? I see a lot of the 22cc bottles for sale - that seems small.But there may be an advantage to the smaller sizes.
Thanks!
