Having trouble with airbrush colorings being too wet and pooling on your stencils, or with white coloring being spotty and see-through? If so, this video has some solutions for you! In it, I distinguish between water- and alcohol-based airbrush colorings and reveal their pros and cons through five different performance tests on cookies! Warning: I go a little techno-geek in the video, but, if you do any airbrushing at all, I think you’ll find it worth the watch.
