Have you seen us make mention of the stainless rings? This is the exact application for which they are intended. Look in the classified section to order some. Good-Luck - Jackie And they work great - I just fired my 12" round ss ring for the first time yesterday, and love it. I used a few fire...

A general discussion of what works, what ha...

Tony,

By internal mix, do I assume correctly that means the medium mixes with the air inside the airbrush, and on an external mix model, the medium never enters the gun itself?

Make sure one of the two holes on the side of the airbrush is plugged. You'll find the plug with extras in the kit. Will it spray water? If not, rotate the wheel on the back top side of the airbrush until it does. If it does spray water, then try a different tip. The turquoise tip works the best wi...

Anea, One possibility is that you have the tension adjustment too tight, causing your belt-changing problem. I'd suggest calling Covington (909-793-6636) or email them at sales@covingtion-engineering.com - they were very helpful in getting me up and running when I first bought the machine. They also...

I very recently (two weeks ago) purchased the smaller Covington from cyberrockhound.com for a little over $600. Best price I could find. It has the motor and is mounted and ready to go. I was trying to stretch my money further instead of investing in the larger Covington from CR Lawrence, which I c...

Lorelei--- I think that if you turn that kiln sideways it will fit through the doorway. Actually it won't Clifford. My basement door opening is 29", and the 24LGAD just barely fit through, on it's side and with the door handle removed. Unless she can remove the door frame, Lauralei's out of lu...

The mold definitely should have holes. Their web site states that holes are pre-drilled as necessary, but I'd err on the side of caution, and drill two or three small holes in the bottom of the mold.

Thanks Charlie - do you know the psi capability of the compresser Michaels carries? Brad suggested I get one with at least 45-50 psi if I'm planning to spray micas, which I am.

Thanks,

Compresser vs. air tank for air brush?

I like the look of the new air brush that Brad is selling, but I don't have a compresser, and don't want to use canned air. So, am I better off with a small compresser, or an air tank which, I presume, I could fill up at a gas station? If compresser, any suggestions re brands and sources? Thanks, Paul
