Young Tutorling
My name is Don, I live in lethbridge. I am very pleased to be accepted into this forum. I have a lot to learn about participating in a forum as well as learning about airbrushes, inks, uses and everything relative. I have been looking at posts and realize I couldn't be in a better place. People have been friendly and very helpfull and I really appreciate it. My background as far as work was silkscreening. I had a small shop in Lethbridge for about 20 years. Printed a lot of T-shirts and decals for Lethbridge and txhe surrounding area. I alo helped my wifw in a laser copy shop for a few years. I was lucky enough to learn a little about using a computer and CorelDraw. I later purchased my own computer and a Graphtec vinyl cutting plotter. The software is Signlab. I still have that in the basement. I haven't used it for a few years, always thought about digging my Wold A2N airbrush that I bought when I was about 16 years old and trying to learn how to use it properly. I just did that last week and found I still havenumerous kinds of inks in a box. I had bought 11 different colors of Rotoring inks. I only used a tiny amount from a couple of bottles. I also have a few bottles of miscellaneous acrylic inks. I will have to learn how to mix and use those. I also ordered some acylic dye powders on Amazon, small digital scale, some airbrush thinner, an airhose and a small package of adapters. lLuckily one of the adapters worked on my Wold airbrush. I had previously had a clear hose attached to it that fit over the intake of the airbrush. It worked but was a little combersome. I want to get a quick connet adapter also. I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos but will have to actually attempt airbrushing something now. Before retiring in 2016 I purchased a lot of woodworking tools along with two old spindle lathes which I am learning how to use. Why didn't I do all this when I was 40yearsold instead of 75 years old.....not to mention I have had COPD since 2016 an use oxygen every night. Not too bright ......
