    Are the artists size airbrushes suitable for spraying timber finishes? If I want to refinish a table wouldthis sort of airbrush be suitable or do they leave too small a footprint to get a consistent finish??

    The one I have is a Paashe double action airbrush from Germany that is one of the best you can get, but i am unsure if its suitable?

    Very good brush.Not sure how it works though.The one I had used interchangeable tips to vary the spray pattern and it would spray up to 50mm wide.It worked well on small stuff and gave a superior finish to the large spraygun and compressor Alas,burglars got the lot,so I would be interested in your results as I'm looking for another one.

    The airbrush I have has multiple interchangable rods and nozzles to allow different flows through it. I may try to give it a go once I figure what the best product is for my table ..Any advice would be welcome. I have a hardwood table that had some heat or water damage causing the finish to rise up, I have sanded it back but not down to the stain level. The table was not glossy like I have seen a lot of PU finishes, looks a matter finish, but I have no idea what it may be.

    Refinishing a table witha an air brush:confused: unless that table came out of a dolls house, I think you are dreaming.
    reasons
    1, not any where enough fluid on board to finish much more than a coaster.
    2, not anywhere enough product delivery to maintain a running wet edge on anything bigger than a matchbox.
    3, inability to lift fluids much more viscous than neat thinners.

    no you will need a full sized spray gun to refinish a table and some prectice first.

    cheers
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
