Had a chance to break in the new workbench today. Also got to use my new airbrush too.

A few thing's I "discovered".

I will be buying paper towel's by the TRUCKLOAD ! And HobbyLobby  Acrylic thinner "Suck's" !

But the paint came out pretty good.

And: The workbench is "STILL" reletively  clean / organized.

Don't know "How" I managed that !

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

Great digs Timmy,  and your trunk stash has quite a few treasures in it.

My opinion is the "acrylic" and "thinner" should never be used in the same sentence.  I have never had luck with it.  Saline, distilled water, or Windex have always did me well.

Yea, I quickly switched to Distilled water too. I'm going to have to try the "Windex" solution... I will let you all know how it work's.

Been using the Distilled water too. Not 1 problem with it. A gallon jug costs $.78 at Giant and lasts for years. Same with Windex for cleaning the AB and regular brushes too. Oh, I use Vallejo Model Air Paints. 

Great man cave. If I get a new camera and then a program to post pics I'll show my new man cave too.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
