Airbrush Motive 053 - Step 2

Adjust the pressure of the air compressor on 1.5 bar.

Note:

Use a respirator and pay attention that your workplace is enough ventilated.

Take a piece of a kitchen towel role and cut a wavy line into, as right in the picture shown.

Stick on the rear side of the kitchen towel a piece of a double faced adhesive tape, as right in the picture shown.

Hold the piece of kitchen towel with the wavy line somewhat diagonal at the half of the fingernail, so that the upper half of the fingernail is covered, as right in the picture shown.

Use the airbrush pistol with the 0.4 mm nozzle. Fill into the paint cup two drops of the water soluble airbrush colour in yellow. The distance of the nozzle to the fingernail should be 3 or 4 cm, as right in the picture shown.

Pull the operating lever 3/4 back when spraying to regulate the colour. Press at the same moment the operating lever half down to regulate the air flow (double action principle), as right shown.

Start with the movement when spraying somewhat beside the fingernail. Move the airbrush pistol steady-going from the left to the right side and from the right to the left side.

The result should correspond approximately to the picture on the right side.

Note:

Before you continue with step 3, wait until the sprayed airbrush colour on the fingernail is dried.
