The airbrush is an ingenious idea, but I fear would take up more space
than a Dahlia, & I'm sure needs a certain amount of skill. Does yours use
a compressor? (Noisy?). However, someone on the list mentioned a $12 mini
or semi-airbrush last year from Pearl paint, which may have a resident
propellant. (I can't import any more equipment tell I dump a few things.)
Meanwhile, I'm hoping Bas or someone will describe the form & operation of
the Dahlia for us. The comment that the drops from an ordinary spray are
uneven describes a good part of the problem -- you think you'll settle
for a spray, but then "rocks" fall out of the sky...

Maybe so... could we call them "Hectors"?
