Hello!
Has anyone out there tried Paasche AirBrushes for glazing pot?
Because my work is very detailed and small, I'm wondering if the AirBrush
be a better way for me to glaze my pots...? or any other suggestion?
Thank You!

I used an air brush for years to spray on overglaze colors. You might
find glazing a whole pot rather tedious. Why don't you just dip them?

Several of us at the Berkeley Potters Studio use various models of Paasche
air brushes to apply glazes. They work fine, but require care to avoid
clogging. They come with changeable apetures - the largest (I think 1mm (?))
is least likely to clog. You can also adjust the thickness of the line made
by any one tip. Glazes need to be be well mixed and sieved and somewhat
watered down to avoid clogging. Compensate for the additional water in the
glaze by applying several coats. And of course clen them very well with fresh
water after each use.

Hi All...I airbrushed porcelain work with an airbrush for 10 yrs. My
glazes would go through the airbrush without clogging and sputing IF I
sieved the glazes through a 200 mesh seive 2 times. It is very possible
to airbrush glazes if they are sieved fine enough...even celadons
containing RIO. I made large batches and spent a full day mixing and
sieving these glazes so they would not have to be done toooo often. It
is time consuming seiving glazes for the airbrush but the headaches of
spraying a 80 to100 mesh sieved glaze is unbearable. Seive fine and you
will not have spraying problems.
Airbrushing can be a long drawn out procedure but well worth the extra
effort if the glazes are sieved fine.I never waxed bottoms while I was
airbrushing...just put the pot on a cardboard ring...used masking tape
rings...after the tape was all gone...and set the pot on the ring to
spray. Easy and mess free as well as cuts out a time consuming step.
Have fun..spraying is a great way to glaze without drips etc. As Always in
Clay Peggy

Try adding a little CMC to your thinned glaze or underglaze mix. I've found
that it helps smooth it out....and helps to eliminate the spitting.

William,
The Iwata HP-BCS is for fine work with "thin" media, not for most
glazes. You might consider switching to a Paasche. If you are happy
otherwise with the Iwata, you might try a different needle size.

hi
I've been using my 30something dollar #62 paashe glaze gun for many years
and it still works best for me. Recently when it was time to replace Ii
tried others including the hvlp from harbor freight but it was to strong.
This #62 spray gun you can find at most ceramic supplies shop and axner has
it but for 62.00(too much). I forget where I got mine but if you put
description (#62 paasche spray gun) on the net you can shop it. Mercy

William,
I think I might be careful using glazes with your airbrush if it is an
especially expensive or precious one. The grit in glazes, however fine,
will invariably destroy it's fine character. It will destroy the needle and
the exit orifice. I learned this the hard way. I usually bought the cheap
10-15 dollar ones at the swap meet and discarded them when they were
unuseable. I did buy a coarser one for glazes with a small pistol grip ( by
Paasche I believe) that seemed to work just great with little or no glaze
wear as they have no needle valve. I also have a cheap one by Badger that
works on the same needless principle.
Best,
Eric in Oceanside

I have used an airbrush twice and I found I had to sieve twice with 100
mesh to keep my airbrush flowing. Also if I am having a day of spraying
and break for a meal sieving again seemed necessary or I was continually
cleaning the tip.

Yes, I was using 100 mesh and having a clogging problem. But I just went to
a 200 mesh and that resolved a lot of the issues. I imagine that the issue
is in fact particle size. 300 mesh would probably take care of the whole
thing but it's hard enough getting the materials through a 200 mesh screen
even though the raw materials are ground at 325 mesh. Go figure.

Jeanne,
Which Paasche would you recommend?
My current needle/tip is .5, the largest for this brush . BTW, Iwata rates
this brush as "Excellent" for glaze spraying . I wonder if they've ever
tried it?

Eric,
Yes, I've already seen wear signs on the tip/orifice. I assume that with a
gritty glaze that it is getting sandblasted away. However, I own a Paasche
#62 and it's spray pattern is just not controllable enough for what I'm
doing. Maybe I'll check out the Badger. Do you know what model it is?

Bill Edwards on sun 28 jul 02
You might consider adding some glycerin or propylene
glycol. The water is the only carrier you are using
that is trying to move the weight of the wetted
compounds through the opening under pressure. If any
of it hangs the rest sets in there and backs up.
The two aforementioned items are humectants, so that
means they will slow down the drying time in the
brush, act as a lubricate and also cause slower drying
on your finished piece.
Humectants like this are not considered a toxin and of
course both are found in foods. I recommend wearing a
NIOSH approved vapor mask since atomizing with an
airbrush certainly releases any compound in its finer
particle state and as it floats back down it dries
fast and enters into any opening it can find. Take it
out side when your working as well. No need in messing
up your studio with this fine powder. Good luck!

I also have used an Iwata and had nothing but problems. When I switched to a less expensive Paasche with a larger needle.....lo and behold, the clogging, the spattering all were a thing of the past. Of course your 80 mesh sieve is your best friend is you choose to airbrush. The Paasche's are sold by Jerry's Artarama, a discount art supply store, that also has bottles and other equipment at the best prices that I have ever seen.

William,
Its the Paasche VL series.
One of the things that you might think about is that you are using an
internal mix or double action airbrush. The medium and the air are mixed
within the brush and thereby hangs the problem. They clog easily. You
might consider going to a single action airbrush where the air and the
medium are mixed as they exit the brush at the nozzle. Less clogging with
heavy media.
Yes, Iwata does say that the HCB is rated for glazes, but they are not
