Show host Aaron Skinner deals with a very serious subject — Silly Putty! Follow along as he shows how to stretch and mold this crazy compound to mask irregularly shaped surfaces prior to painting with an airbrush. And unlike masking tape, you’ll see that you can even re-use Silly Putty on additional painting projects.

  1. Good job Aaron, just goes to show that “Silly Putty” isn’t silly at all, it’s just misunderstood. Thanks.

  2. Nice! Perhaps in the future we can see some info on bringing old airbrushes back to life and some updates on compressors on the market?

  3. Pretty cool technique!

    I vote for a moisture trap install video as well. Also, any air brush rebuilding videos too.

    As always you guys are awesome!

  4. Glad to see this series continue as I think Aaron is great.

    What’s next?

    Maybe you can show how to install an in line moisture trap.
