Experiments with laquer and the dreaded pong!
Correct seal is very important. I used these professionally for a number of years for handling acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. We used to undergo annual “face fit” tests to ensure we had the correct sized masks and that they sealed to the face properly. A simple home test for that is to...- Tim Marlow

I THINK IT'S TIME ?
My Iwatta is bottom feed in effect I think. The paint is drawn from the bottom of the paint cup. It is far easier to clean though because with the cup removed and the blank taken off the other side you can easily access the whole paint path in the body of the brush.- Tim Marlow

I THINK IT'S TIME ?
Personally I’ve never used a top feed brush Jim. I prefer a side feed cup because it’s easier to see the workpiece and the cup can be swapped from side to side to get better access. All air brushes will work, but some will work better than others. It seems like we all use different...- Tim Marlow

Experiments with laquer and the dreaded pong!
Andy T would be the man to ask here Bob, it’s his living after all. Personally I think an A1P3 filter grade with organic capabilities would probably cut it for you. 3M make them. Their half face respirators are excellent.- Tim Marlow

May go dark for a little while
That’s a bit strange, but I suppose if the hip joint is in good condition then it doesn’t need replacement. I was about 62 when I first went to the GP with this and was given physio because it “wasn’t bad enough”, but I think that was age related and I was considered too young.- Tim Marlow

Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory
Not beyond you by any means Brian. Never scratchbuilt anything this complex myself, but would use the same approach as I did with railway locos. In effect you make yourself a kit of parts from first principles. Good plans and a thoughtful approach is all it takes really, well that, and a lot...- Tim Marlow

May go dark for a little while
Cheers guys. Op now done and it only hurts when I laugh, or bend, or move in any way LOL. Pain was high to start with, but is gradually reducing thanks to industrial strength painkillers. Hard day tomorrow though, visit the physiotherapist and be run through the torture regime. Should be...- Tim Marlow

I’d get your marker in now John. It took the best part of a year to get to this once I finally got an orthopaedic referral, and it has deteriorated quite quickly over the last few months. See your GP and talk it up. Don’t downplay or you will just get offered physio like I originally was...- Tim Marlow

May go dark for a little while
Thanks guys. Overwhelmed by this response to be honest. What a great forum. Be nice when I’ve recovered and can walk until I’m tired, rather than just until it hurts too much, which is currently about two hundred yards in old money. It’s gone downhill badly in the last few weeks. For Paul...- Tim Marlow

May go dark for a little while
Hi all. Just to stop any speculation, I may go dark for a little while. On Saturday I’m due to get my right hip replaced, so will be in post op recovery mode for a time. I’ve waited about forty eight weeks, so am glad it’s come around. It’s also better than the seventy weeks I was initially...- Tim Marlow
