Hi Everyone,
My DH has offered to get me my very own (and first) airbrush for my B-Day gift this year! I can't wait to try out airbrushing cakes...I can't STAND tinting fondant. To me it's the most tedious part of decorating.
ANYWAY...I'm looking for some advice on what type of airbrush I should get. Any advice of what or even what NOT to buy is greatly appreciated! I can see all kinds of used airbrushes for sale on ebay, any thoughts to getting a used one?
thanks for your feedback,
-Mary
I just went to Bronwen Weber's airbrush class she recommended www.airbrushcity.com The GD100 pen. We used this in class and it's awsome so I ended up ordering it. They also sell the compressors and if you email them and let them know that you are using it on cakes they will recommend one for you.
Im looking to buy an Airbrush kit...Ive looked and looked...my question is this:
are these regular air compressors??? Sears has a sale for a compressor 2gal. 125 psi and its a craftsman for 100.00 CAN THIS BE USED??? can the pressure be regulated?....I mean can you use ANY AIR COMPRESSOR? or does it have to be for cakes strictly?
Whats better a single action or dual action pen...and why???? How would single/dual affect a design??
yes, Ive seen where others have bought a POWER CAT compressor, then I heard they cant find parts for it...so I was wary of that....like I said...Ive been pricing them...and SEARS has a 2 gal...CRAFTSMAN...u and I both know...with that brand if it breaks they replace it for free for years on end....its on sale for 100.00
Im assuming you need a dual action pen...not a single...???
I got mine today in the mail!!! Its one I researched and was recommended...I was so excited I tore open the box...I examined the compressor, and the pen that came with it, and then the GD 100, everyone talked about...well I got "scared" ![]()
and I put it back away in the box just as fast as I got it out.
It comes with no directions other than how to operate the compressor!!!
...so now I seat here and search you tube and anything I can to find online to learn.
HELP....can anyone point me in a direction???
THANKS!!!
Im super new to cake decorating , but i really want to get an airbrush for decorating. The colors i have seen are so cool. May be i should just stick with the basics for now.
