I’m looking for beginners "how to "information on using an airbrush.  
I bought a cheapy on ebay and have no information on how to use it.  
All I know about it is it’s an external mix single action.  
I bought a book on airbrushing but it doesn’t cover necessary things like air pressure viscosity and stuff like that.  
Does anyone have experience with these things of know of any on line help sites?

[This](http://www.howtoairbrush.com/) is the site my husband has been reading. He’s a beginner, too, and he’ll be taking lessons at a local craft store. That’s something you might look for.

Thanks for the response.  
I wish we still had a craft store here in town. Thats one of the great things we have to thank Walmart for.

I checked out the site you suggested. Nothing about the really basic stuff. I emailed the site owner (per his instructions )and his answer ,check out these sites,was so full of spam I got a warning from my email provider. 😃
