   *I use an air brush for touch up and finish work all the time. I use shellac with a dry powdered pigment mixed to the desired color. I use clear or blonde shellac and zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for a white finish and amber shellac and other pigments for darker surfaces. Dries instantly is easy to clean up and if you use ethanol, fun to smell.Stephen

   *i and if you use ethanol, fun to smell. No wonder you use nailed butt joints on your cabinet door frames.

   *Whats the finish???If it's laquer, then it's a "spray" kinda touch up, complete with protection against overspray,but if it's a paint finish, a wedge of foam and dabbing will do it nicelyWant the technicalities, then dump some qhite laquer in a bottle and brush and adjust away on some scrap first. No finer way.Airbrush to me (at least) is one of them things that you learn by doingOnly axiom I would observe is quit while you are ahead. If ya don't ya got runs and sags...better to take more time to add to the finish later than to have to strip the whole damn thing off and start again. Slower is better.and learn about wet sanding and buffing.....again by trial and error.Cowtown Eric
