Learn Taxidermy: Fish Finishing Part 1

[@cynthiapettengill1780]

After working outside the home for the last dozen years, I am not getting back to practicing taxidermy. I changed from Lacquer to water based, and I hate it! My fish is too dark, I’ve stripped it and started over, and it’s still too dark. What can I do to lighten the fish. What is the type of airbrush do you recommend (single action)?
