If anyone has a second to mention your experience with this. Since it
costs over $100 I want to be sure it does what it says before I lay
out hard earned cash. For detail applications I usually use paint
brushes.

I already have airbrushes but I do not want to turn a glaze into an
"airesol." This "Airpen" appears to solve that dilema.

I found this at this website:

Below is what the ad says, for anyone who wants to read the claims.
To me it sounds too good to be true.
