Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Air Brush system

I've only ever tried it on foam popper bodies, but I'd say it's more like an ink than a paint. I'm not sure if it would provide enough coverage on something like marabou or hackle, but I'd be interesting to try. I'll bring it tonight and we can find out.�

I have an old Testors airbrush (for model airplanes) that�I use with water-based acrylics to paint poppers. It works pretty well, but the paint would not work on feathers or other materials -- it would stiffen them up. If the Copic can be used to custom-dye maribou and saddle hack while preserving the action of the feather, that would be�pretty helpful.�
