airbrush straight line jig

Recommended Posts

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 .

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.
