has anyone ever tried to use an airbrush or paint sprayer to apply the fiberglass resin on the outside, or even inside for that matter, of a piece?
im guessing for it to work you would have to open up the nozzle on the airbrush all the way to allow a higher viscosity liquid to be used. the biggest problem i would imagine is getting the bottle off resin off and getting a bottle of paint thinner or acetone or something in there in time to clean out all the resin to keep it from clogging. if an airbrush could be used, or modded for use or even an airbrush type device made, it would make putting resin on a lot easier, faster and even make the coats go on more even. it would also save on the amount of resin used.
i dont know if this would work or if it is even possible, it is definitely something i am going to look into. i was just wondering if anyone has already done it or tried it.
