Holding small parts

Hi

I am new to airbrushing and wonder what is the best way to secure small parts when you are trying to airbrush them.  Thanks

Pic-n-Stic, Tacky Wax, and polystyrene foam (& sticks).

Glue-Dots!  AKA 'snot-dots':

You can get them at most scrapbook stores, or craft places like Michael's or Hobby Lobby.

 

Pull one off the roll, stick it to a toothpick and stick your part to it for painting.  It pulls off with no residue.
