Good Morningggg the list.
I need some information on useing my 2 new toys for carving.
I got a Badger  150 airbrush and compresser for Christmas and am trying to learn to use it. So far my little dots are big ones and my streight lines look like the we done with pinking shears.  I'm useing premixed paint and still have some problems with it clogging. I this the nature of the beast?  Also I sold some small birds and bought myself a preasant a Ram micro carver with a 45,000 hand piece. what bits will work best with my new found speed.. I did most of my carving with knives and gouges and a cheep dermel time to move to faster and better things. I don't have a web site so can't show you a picture of the Grezzle Bear you helped me with last spring. If I figger out how to make one one the new fangled compuke I wiill

The one negative I've found about Badger air brushes is that they do have a tendency to clog. The best thing I know to do is thin the paint a bit more. Another thing you might try is to filter the paint as you load the bottles siphon bottles. The 150 is dual action, to make the spot bigger pull the trigger button back, to make it smaller push it forward. You still have to have it pushed down to get the paint to come out.

Hope this helps a bit.
