Members billybopp Posted June 21, 2017 Members Report Posted June 21, 2017 Airbrushes are indeed very very handy for many uses. If you already have a compressor, you don't need to spend much to get a usable airbrush that is workable for most things we do as leather workers. A Harbor Freight airbrush will do the job for most things for about $20 or so. You might eventually want a better one, but then again maybe not! If you don't already have a compressor, you can get one that's workable for under $100 AND it's really useful for lots of other things. Pumping up that flat tire, blowing out dirt from refrigerator coils or from behind appliances, blowing up that deflated football, and a few dozen other handy uses. Maybe you can sell that to your higher authority. Bill Quote
alpha2 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Posted June 21, 2017 Actually, you guys are right, I already have a compressor. I see an airbrush in my future! Wow, it took me almost NO time at all for me to talk myself into this. Quote So much leather...so little time.

bikermutt07 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Posted June 21, 2017 The whole it can save money on dye is a valid argument. Not to mention, it does look more buyer friendly in two tone. (Maybe I need one)?????. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

On the opposite side of that argument is that the dye doesn't penetrate as deeply, but thats not a huge issue in my experience. Quote Learnleather.com
