    So you're saying you got things more important than your modelling Tim?

        Seems that way Dave, but isn’t. Lower air pressure also means larger paint droplets, and larger paint droplets means slower solvent evaporation. The varnish is then still wet when it hits the surface and can flow out giving an even coat. Dropping the air pressure too low, however, makes the droplets too large, leading to an unwanted spattering effect. Like everything in airbrushing it’s a balance between something you want, and something else you also want…..
        Is there anything you don't know!

        I am being genuine......I have lost count of the number of times you have explained something like this....

          Yes …….but I don’t know what it is….. :tongue-out3:

          Serious answer……
          I have had a lifetime of wondering how things work and have natural curiosity Andrew. I‘ve also got a very retentive memory for this sort of thing, and am pretty good at applying basic underlying concepts to apparently complex problems. it’s just how my mind works :tongue-out3:

            Dave, I also have problems remembering things and advice gathered on here, must be an age thing. So, if I see something that may help me along the way in the future I just bookmark the page and it's always there, as long as I remember where all the bookmarks are!
