Your Chanel is so underrated smh. your super helpful hope you never stop making these videos they’ve really helped me out. Thanks man keep grinding !

[@johnramsey7739]

Sorry, but I am disappointed to inform you of your misuse of the word, “your”. I believe you meant to say “you’re”, as these are commonly mixed. You see, “your” is a possessive word, and I am afraid one cannot obtain a “super helpful” if you will. There is another spelling of this word which you have attempted to use. However, this is, of course, “you’re” which is a conjunction of the common words of “you” and “are”. I am pleased to announce that I have disclosed this case and this will go unnoticed on your resume, unlike your mother’s mistake those many years ago. I do hope that we may move forward from this obstruction and not make this same mistake. Thank you for your levels of cooperation and I would be glad to set this aside.

[@cynthiaV137]

John Ramsey ahhh yes of course, thank you for the correction, but I was simply in a hurry and very much not worried of my choice of words on a yt comment section. Buttt thank you for reading my comment I’m sure it gave you something to do, since you clearly don’t have anything better. Althoughhhh your input was correct I already know how to use you’re and your. Thank you and you’re welcome sir.

[@uvafan940]

Let me save you alot of the headache (and money in the ling run) I went through trying Paasche, Harder, Badger, etc... Save your money and just buy the higher end Iwata. High-performance, Hi-Line etc... In the bigger picture, they are really not that much more expensive. The 105 should not even be in a comparison with that kind of quality and precision. Nothing stays as clean or atomizes paint like them. I have had my latest Iwata for over a year now and have never had to take the nozzle off to clean etc..., to date. Everything is just so highly machined, paint just has a much harder time clogging anything up. I have no affiliation with any brand, just a hobbyist who got tired of mediocrity.

Usually need to select the right vinyl first off, heat set it extremely well, whatever color you have under your vinyl is the first color you should paint through the stencil so if paint leaks it’s that color

Hey I'm pretty new to customs and just got an airbrush! I was don't have any 2-thin at the moment but I do have some 2-soft.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

2 soft is strictly for making the paint ready to paint on fabrics, if you can find another brands airbrush medium it would be suitable but not ideal since you want to use the products made by angelus when using angelus paints

The amount of paint coming out has to deal with how far you pull back, pushing down allows for air.

If you do not leave the paint enough time to dry in between layers, will it eventually crumble when worn, even if you do prep and finishing work properly?! also, was to seal the shoe without how you typically do it?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Make sure you’re always thinning and straining your paint before using it. Also make sure you’re tightening the parts we talk about in this video with pliers before using as well. And then before attempting to spray paint , double check that you’re able to spray water at full capacity. If it’s not spraying water it won’t spray paint
