Hello my name is Marc and I’ve been airbrushing for about 5 months and I was doing a painting and I opened a new bottle of cretex detail violet and I poured it in a mixing cup the smell was so bad I thought the sewage pipe broke it smelled like sulfer and rotten opinions it was so bad it burned my throat and nose and was hospitalized and couldn’t stop throwing up ! Has this ever happened to you in your professional career? Please help me thank you so much Sincerely Marc ( aka EL’PADRE airbrushing )
I've always been hesitant to break out the airbrush, because it's just too much work. This makes me so much more likely to actually use it. One thing you can do, if you're worried about q-tip fibres, is to get the cotton swabs made by Tamiya. They're specifically designed to not shed any fibres. I use them for cleaning oil paints and applying transfers and they work great.
Or use a small paint brush that fits in the opening. That’s what use and it works very well. I just clean the brush after I’m done with paint thinner and it’s ready for the next time.
