Shane8stud Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I heard some guys talking about spraying through a straw awhile back, just wondering what this does? does it cut down on overspray and how do you do it? If it's good, im gonna go get a bag of straws lol, Thanks again guys, you guys are always really helpful and it's really appreciated over here !!

fatfingers Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 The straw method requires that you get your tongue pierced. The tongue stud is rapidly inserted and withdrawn from the straw as the artist forces gusts of air through the straw, thus creating a fine speckling effect with a more predictable pattern than that produced by stippling. I won't engage in this method of application because my well-chiseled body is a temple, which I refuse to despoil by way of piercing.

MTfishingrods Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Rookie has perfected the straw method of painting. I believe he will be chiming in on this one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I read this too, only a week or two ago. I tried a search, but came up with nothing. Maybe it was on another web site. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Rookie brought up his famous "straw method" with tongue in cheek - or is that straw? Anytime you see him post - take a step back, turn off your bs meter lest the needle get bent as it pegs out, and enjoy the show. If your airbrush spits at low pressure, you'll need to thin the paint or increase the pressure. Take a look at airbrush.com. It has some good recommendations and tutorials.

fatfingers Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Shane8, clean your gun thoroughly with lacquer thinner. Some airbrushes are shipped with slightly greased parts both inside and out. The PS900 I purchased recently was like that. The grease will give you problems till you clean it out. If its still spitting, try either thinning your paints a bit more or turning up the air pressure, or both. Also when working close for fine detail remove the nozzle cap from the tip of the brush. That cap tends to collect overspray until the pressure blows it out (onto your work). At low pressures it tends to collect more overspray within that cap than normal because the paint isn't being thrown out as hard since you normally turn the pressure down to work close.
