How To (Tips for Using Your Airbrush Kit)
If you have never used an Airbrush before (or even if you have), find some free time to familiarize yourself with this device. Following these tips and tricks will get you closer to incredible results in no time.
Please be aware that the Airbrush is a very delicate mechanism that will give you great results if you follow the instructions, especially regarding cleaning and maintenance.
Use:
Connect the gun to the compressor with the tube found inside the package and plug the compressor into the socket.
Press the red button to turn on the compressor. You can adjust the air flow with the valve next to the tube.
A few basic tips:
After taking the Airbrush out of the box, make sure the tubing is clear. This could affect the air flow.
Just put a few drops in the paint container. At this stage, do not turn the Airbrush tank down or shake it, as the paint may spill and ruin your work.
Always place the airbrush in the holder that is part of the compressor.
Do not overfill the paint container!
Don't be afraid of mixing colors. Dropping blue into yellow gives you green. Have fun creating new shades.
Before you start coloring the cake, try it on paper first. Holding the Airbrush close to the surface will give you a thin line.
Hold the nozzle approximately 15 cm from the cake and gently squeeze the trigger.
Spraying too much paint will create small droplets on the surface of the cake that can ruin your work, so it's better to apply several lighter layers over each other than one thick layer.
When finished, wait for the paint to dry. Do not try to reach into the cake to see if the layer is dry.
Using stencils:
You can make your own stencils in different ways. For example, you can tear a sheet of paper in half and spray paint over the torn edge. Or you can cut different shapes out of paper, which you place on the cake and apply color over them.
When using a stencil, always hold the Airbrush at a 90° angle above it to achieve the desired result. If you hold the Airbrush at a 45° angle, the paint will seep under the stencil and spoil your final creation.
Cleaning:
When changing colors, put a few drops of water in the tank to clean from the previous color. Also, when you're done with the Airbrush, put a few drops of water in the reservoir first, blow out the water, and then repeat the same with the cleaner. Press the trigger until only air comes out of the nozzle.
WARNING: Do not use the compressor for more than 20 minutes at a time, as there is a risk of overheating, which could damage the compressor! Longer use may shorten its life. After 20 minutes, turn off the compressor and let it cool down.
