G'day all. A few weeks ago I was having a conversation with some of the community on the leatherworker.net forum. Some people expressed interest in seeing how the patina is applied using an airbrush for my pen sleeves. So, here it is!
Enjoy, I hope you learn something and get some value from the video.

It is amazing how the world is so big but yet so small. You are on the other side of the world and 2 years ago you posted this awesome video. You inspired me!!!!!! I purchased an airbrush system because of your video. Now I need to learn how to set it up and use it. Thank you for taking your time to help. If you ever come to the United States and find yourself in Tennessee I want you to come for dinner.

bought an airbrush and have been really enjoying it for getting even color. I know you applied a beeswax finish here but Im curious to know have you ever tried applying a liquid top coat with your airbrush (like tandy ecoflo satin sheen)? i am thinking this would be a perfect way to ensure there is no streaking on larger projects and great way to apply the top coat over top of the antique gels as well without worrying about it lifting off as sometimes can happen with manual application. I am thinking a top coat like ecoflo satin sheen would be thin enough but i am hesitant to try it in the airbrush as i dont want to clog it up, and not sure what to use to clean the parts after (just water?)

Thats awesome! It is a great tool to havs. I have not tried it personally, but most of those products are soluble in water or maybe rubbing alcohol... they are surprisingly resilient!

thanks for the reply- i think i will give it a shot !

Actually, I tell a lie! I remember now I did it once before when making some light green branded key chains. When I applied supersheen in my usual way, it went splotchy and darkened the colour too much. So I sprayed it instead. I did it over a few lighter coats. They took a while to cure from memory, but I still see those key chains floating around and they are still light green! My airbrush has worked fine since, though i am fanatical about cleaning it immediately after use so there is that... haha

that for the great info

@leannecurtis8863 4 жыл бұрын

been thinking about getting an airbrush for doing this effect. can you use ecoflo water based dye in the airbrush?

@wedgetailleather 4 жыл бұрын

Great! yes you can absolutely use that. It is already pretty thin so you could use it straight out of the bottle, but try experimenting with using it diluted for softer effects and to get more out of a bottle. But be sure to wear a respirator and good ventilation, they may be water based but may still be harmful when inhaled.

Wonderful video, please where can I get an airbrush in east London?

@wedgetailleather 2 жыл бұрын

Thankyou, sorry I do not know. But I would suggest looking for a hobby store specialising in model aircraft, or model railways.

Wow! A year has gone by so fast. How is the reno moving along?

@wedgetailleather 5 жыл бұрын

Sure has! Reno is going well, mostly just in clean up mode now... all the "clutter" from the house is now cluttering up my work space.... but I cleaned a bunch out last weekend and should be back to work on a few more weeks. :)
