Question for Luc

Luc,

I have been following your work techniques for erasing areas. Just curious if you have ever tried using an air eraser to remove the paint? I thought of this when I got out my Paasche Air Eraser to do some glass etching.

Hi Tim,

Are you taking like a very light sandblast???...not sure I understand what you mean by ''air eraser''.

it's like a mini sandblaster Luc, looks like an airbrush...shoots out an abrasive...

[LucBoivin]

Mmmmmmmm....if that what it is, then I would have to say no...never tryed it!!

When we paint with the airbrush, we never get to touch the surface.... which takes time to get used to....so when I erase or remove paint I would like to actualy touch the surface. If someone has tryed this I would be curious to see how this is done.

Thanks Lynne

Luc,

As Lynne stated it looks like an airbrush but instead of paint it shoots out a extermely fine abrasive. I use it to etch or frost glass. Having followed your techniques for erasing and that the name of hte device I was just curious. I am not sure what exactly it was intended to erase by Paasche but had to ask. attached is a picture of one.

Oh I think I saw one of these before...but wasn't sure what it did. Thanks for showing a pic.

Back to your main question, sorry Moose, can't help!
