Welcome to the Forums and back to the hobby. Lots of us "older gentlemen" around here. I'm 72 and have the same problems. I'm starting to move up to the larger scales.

Welcome ! I always make a mess when decanting spraypaint into another container so I cant give you any "good" advice on how to do it.      Exept to wear gloves !  Please jump on in to the disscussions and have fun!   Also please post pictures of whatever your building.  We're a nosey bunch and want to know just what your up to !

                                                                                           

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Welcome to the Forum, Christian.  Someone here probably knows how to decant acrylics, since a lot of people use them.  

You might also try posting this in the painting section.  It might grab someone's attention there with more knowledge than I have.

Getting back into modeling
Posted by Christianps53 on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 5:18 PM

Hi everyone, I am coming back into modeling after a long hiatus.  I am older now (60) and have trouble with my hands and eyes (yes it's hard getting old) so I work on 1/32 or larger kits. It's nice to be back and the new kits are incredible.  Just started using an airbrush and experimenting.  Anyone familiar with decanting spray cans (acrylic) for use in an airbrush without making a big mess?  Thanks
