ok so how many wear a face mask to airbrush? Also what do you use to keep from coloring everything in your kitchen? oopsies

I don't wear a mask..to hot and cumbersome...but ask me how many times the Mom's at school have laughed at my green or blue nose...LOL...Try airbrushung in a separate room ...I also tum the PSI down so you aren't spraying as heavily everywhere.It has helped.Otherwise you can't totally eliminate it unless you have a properly vented booth.

I have the most awesome tool for this problem!! I have the airbrush booth from cakesafe.com - for the first time in my airbrushing life, I don't get color up my nose or anywhere in the room. I can now airbrush without having to clean for hours! I LOVE it! Check it out - it works perfectly! I think anyone who has an airbrush needs one of these things, it really is worth every penny. (and no, I don't work for them) I just love their quality products!

I was thinking about a card board box???? no???? one where my han is deep inside and the over spray hits the sides of the the box

You can try it, but you still get it everywhere with a box. (been there done that!)

I airbrush with my cake inside a big clear plastic tub (Rubbermaid type) turned on its side. That helps a lot with overspray. Doesn't help with the red boogers though!

well I can wear a mask......lol

And just think, if you have red "buggars" what color is in your lungs? I am really glad I have that airbrush booth. Scott (the man who designed the airbrush booth) at Cake Safe really puts a lot of thought into the things he makes for us cake decorators.

ok. the plastic box does not work, and I didnt wear a mask....and I think I have food coloring pneumonia now (kidding)...wish I wasnt so cheap or I would buy a airbox...too much money for a hobby baker....I will come up with something else....grrr...my kitchen ceiling will soon be red...omg

There was a tiny amount of the color right in front of the box (under where the filters are). I now put a towel right there and just toss it in the washer when I am done. I get NO color in my nose (or anywhere else) when I use the booth!

Thanks Loucinda.....in the video the food coloring was in the front of the box where you would stand not behinf the filters....you don't get anything in the front?
