Laura,
I just checked and it looks like I could get it for $50 plus about $10 shipping.
I don't NEED an airbrush, but it seems cheap to start a new hobby or use to touch up the scratches on my car... lol
How could/would we pay you? Do you take credit cards (I would add a few $$ to cover your processing charges)?
Thanks for the great offer!

If you are high bidder you can pay me via PayPal. I think my processing charge is 3% of the total + $0.30. Or you could mail a check. I wonder if it would fit in the Flat Rate Priorty Mail boxes from the post office? That would only be $7.70 to ship plus insurance/tracking if you want it.
We can figure something out. :)

Chuck,
This is an old thread but did you ever do anything with the airbrush and Cermark? I am curious as I just got an airbrush and some of theCermark colors for glass/tile and the metal marking one. I also got a number of bottles to keep each color in, hoping that I can keep cleanup to a minimum. I undertand they have a very long shelf-life and only may require thining. I haven't had time yet to test my theories, I just got the stuff last month.

JIm,
I did in fact get an airbrush, but have not tried it with the cermark. I ordered the cermark in bulk but didn't get around to using it.
Sorry I cannot help. :-(

No nothing specific, I just wanted to see if the airbrush technique worked and see who had experience with the medium. I had been through two spray cans that had clogged with more than half remaining and was reluctant to get back and try it again. The bulk material and airbrush seemed the best way to go. I purchased some of the colors too and my plan was to leave each in its own bottle and then just clean the brush itself. A lot of the things I've done have been onesies or just a couple and the expense of the product plus the clean-up that would be required with an airbrush concerned me. Glad to know someone is using it successfully!

Jim - I agree with James that you do need to thin the CerMark - I normally thin it quite a bit less than they recommend. Only a very thin coat of CerMark will give you nice black lettering. We use an inexpensive air brush
system. Nothing fancy needed to spray this stuff. Biggest problem is that it does separate out quickly and you need to be able to shake it up. I use a plastic bottle (they type you can buy at a Dollar store to dispense catchup or mustard) for mixing the CerMark - then pour into the small bottle attached to the air brush. If you are only doing a one of two small items, I would suggest you just use a foam brush - we do that for small single stuff and it works well. You will need to clean up the air brush system each time you use it. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can answer anything else.

Cindy - We use Pure Denatured Alcohol - bought from local Ace Hardware.
It lets the CerMark Dry out after spraying quickly. I do not have a problem with it evaporating in the container after mixing though. This is the recommended thinning agent.
PS: I do not recommend you take a shot or two of this if your having a bad day. ;-)
