TomWisc Report post Posted May 1, 2018 I just got an airbrush to apply stain and so far, I really like it. It uses so much less stain and for lighter brown colors it allows me to keep my project from getting too dark. I am making a few belts and would like to be able to apply a darker stain to the edges of the belts like a two-tone effect. Sounds like a simple things except it is really hard to keep my old hands from shaking too much. So, not to be discouraged, I know if I can come up with a slider jig to hold the airbrush I can adjust the airbrush angle to stain just the edge plus a little bit of the face of the belt. I have a few ideas how to make this jig but I was wondering if any of you have already made one and are willing to share your concept . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted May 1, 2018 How about using a piece of cardboard as a mask so you only hit the edge and a small amount of the surface? If you don’t spray very heavy you should be able to feather the dye. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomWisc Report post Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks for the idea Gary, that should work. Sometime I overthink the problem and don't see the easy way to get it done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
