Here's one from me to get things rolling:

A baby's disposable nappy (unused) is great to have on the bench when you're airbrushing to spray waste paint and cleaner into- they soak up an amazing amount of liquid and don't leak onto your workspace

  5. Most airbrush compressors can do all of the tools mentioned operational requirements of the airbrush, but to varying degrees, depending on design. The cost depends on the capacity, while the excellence of the air depends on the extent of free from dust, moisture and oil free. The two important considerations in airbrush compressors and the exact volume and pressure.
