|  The nice thing about hemostats is they can be clamped shut onto pieces to hold them tight. The BAD thing is that the clamping pressure can leave indentations in plastic from the teeth in the clamp head. I have three of them, two as shown in the pic and a smaller one that's about half the size of those two. |

| I have the compressor and all. Need to set aside some time to fool around with it, I mean I hooked it up to the compressor and got the psi thing down, but haven't tried paint with it yet.  |

 -------------------------------------------------------------- In regards to the hemostat. I use mine in place of tweezers, I find it gives better control and it's more comfortable when using it for long periods of time. I also find it pretty handy putting a tooth pick in it to hold my work, especially after painting.

| Okay, does anybody know about blue-tac? I am looking at a dry brushing tutorial and the guy recommends blue-tac to 'mask' off the other areas. |

| Thanks Jamie - now that I've seen your pics, I know exactly what a hemostat is, just didn't know that's what they were called! I used to have a pair, which I found extremely useful. Don't know where they went though, probably lost in a house move. Harrison, 'Blue Tac' is a putty-like compound, normally packed as a 'sheet', which is used for sticking notes, pictures, etc to walls without leaving pin holes or similar. It's re-usable, and available from office or staionery stores; might have a different name in the 'States, although the name is a brand name, not a product name. For masking, it can be rolled into a 'snake' shape, and pressed onto a model to follow the line of say, a camouflage pattern, where it will give a soft-edged mask when the paint is sprayed.
