I just got it but I have no idea how to airbrush, I cant seem to get a thin precise line- dont know if it's just me or the machine, I've only used it on whipped frosting but even on low I think it's pretty strong so I cant get too close or it will blast the frosting away

YouTube have a lot of great videos on how to airbrush...that's how I learned.

I just got a great deal on the Duff Airbrush from Michaels. It was already on sale, which I didn't realize at the time. Then the guy let me use a Joann's 50% off coupon, and another Michael's coupon. I was too excited. Haven't had a chance to play around with it yet however.

Can you adjust the psi on it? If not you won't be able to get close without blowing the icing off. My compressor is adjustable so I can adjust the psi down low and get closer.

Wow, they honour other store's coupons? Mine does not. My store is also not customer friendly.
If you do not own one and don't want to pay that much $120.00 that I saw the other day, Harbour Freight tools (cheap tool discounter) also sells compressors for a cheaper price.
Let us know how it goes. Good luck

i've heard michaels and joanne's will honor competitors coupons. AND i heard if you didn't print out your coupon, can just show them your coupon email on your smart phone.

too bad i don't have a smart phone ...

They honor eachothers coupons, but then someone told me you can use more than one coupon if they were from different stores. One store allowed me to do it, but another store wouldn't, go figure. I know you can adjust it to low, medium and high. It looks similar to the one Edna DeLa Cruz has on her website.

Low, med, high doesn't tell what psi it is. You need to be around 15psi for for cakes.
