Yes Neville like all of these finely diffused products they need care in use,whilst I use an airbrush when feasible only outside in a sort of lean-to affair that was made up for small spraying operations,spraying in a domestic environment places dangerous particles in the atmosphere,a lot of people think that just opening a window is sufficent,not so ! the latest Badger products warn you about this.
We have touched before on some of the hazardous materials we use in modelling and it is good to remind newcomers of the inherant dangers to your health,having breathed in copious amounts of cellulose dope over the years both in modelling and on full size aircraft it makes you wonder ?
There is the appeal of a miniature sand blaster but obviously it needs care in use with all of that abrasive dust flying around,does anyone know how to make a simple extraction system for say shed use ?
