Can you use this in an airbrush? It came up when searching for cake airbrush colors and I didn't realize it didn't specify it after purchasing it.

Hi angie, I believe so as most of the airbrush kits are the same brand from americolor and their colours are waterbased. Btw the colours are amazing and bright. Haven't used my airbrush kit yet so I can't tell for 100 percent certain.

the best way to dilute these colors is with vodka or other clear alcohol(I use vanilla vodka) the alcohol evaporates quickly. in this way, you can use the colors in your airbrush or using a paintbrush

Angie you would have to either dilute this with a lot of water or purchase the air brush color set. just make sure the sprayer is really clean between each color usage. This is what i used to do till i found the sir brush color online here at Amazon. Thanks

When airbrushing with regular food coloring, you really need to be careful as it can gum up your airbrush. Having said that, it is a bad idea to dilute with water, and this can leave your cake and sugar work really sticky and in some cases pelt the finished product. It is always better to dilute with vodka. The vodka will not change the taste of your cake, and the alcohol wiil evaporate quickly so as to not leave your cake or sugar work a sticky mess.

Hi Tarie,I clean my airbrush every time after been used and I spend less than 5 minutes with warm water. But I am having a hard time to use this airbrush, I can not find the right make up, and the right way to use. I was practicing with water, and with some makeup, but did not work, I think that I was not a good idea to buy this airbrush. I do not know to use it.

Yes, they are the right size for the airbrush kit. However, when we tried it just foamed up at the tip instead of spraying. I can only assume that the freshly made markers have a little too much ink in them. We will probably try again, using about 10 "drops" of ink to make the marker instead of the instructed 15.

Monica, I really don't see why not. I use this airbrush kit for all of my RC Models and I get great results. One key fact is that you cannot allow what ever you are spraying through the brush to dry before you clean the brush. I've never use it to paint food so I would assume that the food coloring that may be used, could have some form of sugar in it and if not properly thinned it could possibly gum up the mechanism. My suggestion is to make sure that the contents aren't to sugary and clean the brush thoroughly after use. I hope this helps you out. Take care, Ayl

It works with just about any airbrush on the market, the part where you insert the airbrush is made out of a rubber material

I've only used it with the cricut cake, because all cartridges are compatible with both machines I don't see why you couldn't use it with the cricut expressions.

That's a good question, I've never had a reason to try that before. My best guess would be any generic paint thinner. With any other paint that I typically use on models (which is what I got these pens for) I use paint thinner to clean the brushes and to clean up areas of excess paint. Since these pens are made of roughly the same kind of oil that the regular paints are I would assume that paint thinner would work just as good with them. Hope this helps and I definitely hope it works!

I read that any water based make up can be used. I also read that Cover Girl makes a water based make up, so I called their 800 number. They gave me the name of several different formulas. I was able to find "Clean" Normal Skin Make up by Covergirl. It is supposed to be diluted to the consistancy of milk to run through an air brush. I am not sure what to clean the air brush with. I will have to go to the Luminess web site to find out. I have never used an airbrush for make up, but have ordered one and am waiting to try it!

yes, I had to color some of it because I ran out of blue fondant. I used the Wilton Cake colors and it was a bit messy, but it worked and matched very well to the blue I already had.

absolutely and the best dye to use believe it or not is Wiltons cake decorating Gel. I dont know why but I got some phenomenal colors from using this one night..(It was the only dye I had on hand)

If you are air brushing the cake, it should be fine. Your limitation is the size of cake unless you purchase two. The air flow through the booth will take just about any over spray out of the air. Hope this helps!

I just bought the color closest to my store bought foundation. It also helps to know what your colors are. I have to much red so colors that don't have a lot of red or pink work best. I bought the lowest price airbrush from Bellocio. The compressor is fine but the trigger for the air brush is an ongoing problem. Since it was the cheapest airbrush I could find anywhere I would stay with Bellocio but by a more expensive airbrush which would still be comperable price wise.I would also add they stand behind their warranty. Good luck, I hope this helps.

I do not recommend it. If you want something for cloth you need to purchase a special paint you can thin to spray from the airbrush. These are strictly food grade coloring so the colors will look very different on cloth and may run and wash out when wet.

No, it's the color scheme for military aircraft and can be used with an airbrush.

If you can thin it to spray it will work, just make sure you clean them real good, and I use a turpentine at the end of day to clean my airbrush, just in case I don't get it clean enough with water, since most of the paint I use is Enamel Paints or Acrylic.

Yes, this compressor would work fine for airbrushing. This compressor is very quiet.

I have no idea? I am assuming that it wont unless it is a very very fine powder almost like baby powder... either way it will ruin the airbrush. Maybe a cheap airbrush without a needle in it would work ( can get a cheap Badger airbrush at any hobby store for about $10 ) or buy a sand blastig gun...but that may require a larger compressor due to the needed airflow to siphon the media. Again I would assume it wont because the compressor cant supply that amount of airflow.
