                        Yup, hooking a compressor to the airbrush is almost like haveing an entirely different brush. Glad you finally got a compressor Chris.

                        I didn't have reservations about the cash, I more or less was worried about size without paying big bucks for a genuine airbrush compressor.

                        Yeah, the cans suck. I remember putting them in a pan of hot water to improve the performance. The compressor is so much better and to think I had reservations about parting with the cash.

                        Right on! Have fun with the new setup Chris!

                        I expect you'll have moments of frustration and greatness. Can't wait to see some results.

                        A compressor makes all the difference in the world compared to propellant cans. No more weird pressure changes because the cans get cold, no more worrying about running out. You'll love it.

                        well, I got a great deal on a compressor the other day (a small central pneumatic) and today I picked up the fittings and water trap today. just need to get a extension at work tommorrow to be able to set the water trap up properly, and then I'lll be ready to go. after a few (lousy) tries with air cans., I am very excited to try my airbrush now!!!!!
