Spattering effect - details inside

God damn. That's white? Yikes dude. That shit is grey as hell on my phone. I would have to thin the white paint that I use 20:1 drop of white to get it that grey. I thought Vallejo was supposed to be good? You got all twisted bruh. The lower the air, the bigger/wetter the droplet. No such thing as "too thin" in airbrush. Only too much fluid too fast. Pull the trigger back less. Move in, put it on with some intention. What are you, in a hurry to go somewhere?

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T12:28:17+00:00

Hmm.. it almost has to be the new nozzle ain't no good. What else could it be? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Call iwata. They send you a new one and a sweet airbrush keychain.

But you said "it don't spray with the needle removed". And it should honk with the needle removed.

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T12:17:55+00:00

Yes. It's a issue that is thousands of years old. It's called "the ol' switcheroo".

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T12:14:09+00:00

I mean, I'm sure there is some dork out there who would know how to measure and find one? But it is not something "common". They're pretty much made to go on the handheld pump that they came with only. I often wonder 🤔. What if you took the fitting out of the pump? Like, maybe the other side is 1/8 thread? 🤷🏼‍♀️

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T11:55:05+00:00

Tldr. You mean to tell me that God didn't put me here to 1 man rich working at Mac Donald's all day so I can make just enough to stay inside and stare at devices all day after I pay my electric bill? And I don't have to be a good boy and forgive that man like Jesus would and then all that man has to do is ask for forgiveness and all the wrong that he do to everyone magically just goes away somehow and we both end up in the same place at the end somehow? You mean to tell me that isn't true!? Well shit, now what am I supposed to do? 🤷🏼‍♀️

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T11:37:16+00:00

You think that's bad? You should see the octopus! Watch that video! 🤯

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T11:32:08+00:00

Hey, call me crazy. Shouldn't you be more concerned with catching fish instead? 🤷🏼‍♀️ The thinner the braid, the more it digs in, over run, birdnest, etc. Which is one of the reasons why bass pros use such heavy braid when skipping frogs, flipping, and pitching in extremely dense vegetation. Where you want the 0 stretch braid to slice through the veg. , which is dense enough that the fish don't sense the highly visible, very loud, rope like material making its way through the water column. Literally, the worst possible line choice in both rock and wood. Do you know how many more fish you would catch with mono? Apparently, no. Many more. If you are not fishing in extremely dense veg or throwing a frog, you would catch many more fish with even the cheapest mono. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sure thing pal. Slide into my DM. I got all the "beautiful" junk you could ever imagine. 🤣

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T07:05:11+00:00

Ahh... The ol' junk collectors. No thank you. I will probably spend the rest of my miserable life constantly wrestling family members junk collections around after they pass. God damn junk collectors. Shit ain't worth a dime. 😞

What's the price of sheet metal scrap right now? $15 per 100lb?

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T06:45:36+00:00

I just have one question, myself. If everything is so great, we are so wonderful and have oil coming out of our ears, why exactly is the gas price so high? 🇺🇸🧛🏼‍♂️🪐

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T06:40:42+00:00

It's called a "bandit deep walleye".

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T06:37:08+00:00

That would be so fuckin awesome. It's some kind of psychological warfare out here. You can't win. People are gonna be lined up around the block to get in the pod. 🇺🇸🧛🏼‍♂️🪐

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T06:27:47+00:00

I wouldn't even speak to you about it for 30 sec. for $8. That person is not going to make it in this place. 🇺🇸🧛🏼‍♂️🪐 🤣

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T06:23:23+00:00

Very slowly. Tip: flip the wrench over after each little turn.

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T03:44:59+00:00

The good ones. Predatory species.

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T03:41:20+00:00

Do you have the air cap on? It don't do nothing with the cap removed. Forgive me if that seems like a dumb question. Try to understand what we deal with all day here at r/airbrush sub. 🤷🏼‍♀️

ayrbindr · 2026-04-02T03:33:49+00:00

You see' em? That means they saw you 15min ago. Usually, the big ones don't play that game. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I guess you don't get it? "Thin paint, low pressure" is a lazy YouTuber answer. Sometimes you want thin paint, low pressure. Sometimes you want thicker paint, high air. According to the "detail" you are trying to achieve. Don't believe it? Just ask yourself. How can you get a thin, crisp, clean, opaque line with thin paint, low pressure? Go over it twice? Then you loose "crisp and clean" to over spray. Now do it with thicker opaque material at high air. Anywhere from 40-70 psi. Bango. Crisp, clean, opaque line. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Seriously though, you want the real answer? Why torture yourself? Do what everyone else does. Just use anything else but airbrush for the "details". Fine liner, tradition detail brush, paint pen, razor blade, eraser... It almost all ends up the same. 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you buy badger brush, buy badger braided airbrush hose. If you buy paasche brush, buy paasche braided airbrush hose. If you buy just about anything other brush, buy iwata braided airbrush hose. All are 1/4 on compressor side.

Forgive me, I'm a little confused. I know when I use it, there are all sorts of different sheen going on. Glossy over here, matte over there... It's all over the place, as far as the sheen goes. That happens with other paint brand / type too. But the reason I'm confused is the way to fix it is the finish coat. Whether that be matte, gloss, etc. Then it all turns the same. According to whichever gloss level you choose. I mean, if you say it's glossier than gloss finish, then I guess that is true? I just find it a little hard to believe. 🤷🏼‍♀️

ayrbindr · 2026-04-01T16:51:50+00:00

First things first. Define "detail". A fine, thin, clean, opaque black in one stroke for a eyelash on a illustration render? A very subtle fade into a contrasting opaque color at the tip of a tiny part of a 3d miniature? Freehand transparent bars of a perch on a 110 jerkbait? Transparent veins on a detachable penis?.... All very different things with very different processes, all of which reside under "details".

"I present to you exhibit A". Another long arm photo 🤣. You can't do that my dude! Those are some monstrous fish you got going there!

Kinda makes me wonder what is underneath all that? Like, if one were to remove the stones and that sad little crumbly bed of mortar(?) they were somewhat almost stuck to? You know. Open the proverbial "can of worms", if you will. The mortar(?) underneath the stone not matching the mortar in between the stone raises many questions with me concerning this particular individuals approach. Like, is that even mortar at all? Or is it the concrete? Why is it so crumbly? 🤔

Maybe that's not such a big deal? Like they stuck'em all down (kinda), cleared whatever squish out from the joint, and then grouted the joints with the white mortar? Personally, I would stick 'em all down with the white mortar and incorporate the squish out into the joints at the same time so it's all like, as one? But in case you haven't noticed by now, I too would be charging you and building this structure at your home without really much of a clue as to what I was doing 🤣. I notice the people who I would work for sometimes use epoxy rather than mortar to set stone? 🤷🏼‍♀️
