could you put a link to the  three way outlet splitter ($10 CAD)?

It appears the price went up from the $9.99 CAD when I ordered it to $10.69

Nice setup.

I use a DA Paasche for airbrush work with dyes and I have found that using denatured alky instead of isopropyl alky for dilution gave me better penetration and finish on vegtan. The main reason for using an airbrush is gradient coloring/shading and the sunburst finish on small items is striking. I'm unsure how this will work on shoes or other previously treated leather.

Similar to you I apply a single coat of NFO minimum of 24hrs to vegtan before applying Fiebings Pro Dye cut to about 50/50 with alky. Absorption and even spread is quite good. As tests I did sectional cuts of 8~10oz HO and found I got better dye penetration on NFO treated than without.

Having spraying chamber or doing this outdoors and using a good respirator is important.

Thank you for the link.  Helped me find it in Amazon for the US.

Totally Agree. The next project is going to be a small spray enclosure with exhaust for the house.
