    Need Propel

    I just ordered my 3.5 WTC from Atomic Subs (Thanks Erv, Lyle). Also thanks Merriman for taking the time to talk to me. I am now tring to aquire a Propel bottle and refills. My hobby shop here is terrible. They have Testers canned air for there air brushes and had no idea what I was talking about. So any help would be great.. Thanks in advance..

    DO NOT USE TESTORS! It

    DO NOT USE TESTORS! It has a similarity to mustard gas and hurts when you get it in your face. I order mine from Tower Hobbies and use the Pasche 15oz variety. Works great and doesn't seem to leave as much residue as Badger Propel.
    Plus, the Pasche is about the same $$ as the small can of Propel. You will also need a Propel can adapter, either through Merriman or Mike's Subworks.

      Also any good art supply

      Also any good art supply store will carry several diffent brands. It's used for artists air brushes. I use the Paasche brand. 9 bucks for a a 15 oz. can.

          I recommend using Super Duster



          I recommend using Super Duster instead. It's a lot safer than Propel (no butane) and won't gum up your blow and vent valves.

          I have had the best luck getting it from Circuit Specialists in Arizona.
          Circuit Specialists Inc.
          220 South Country Club Drive #2
          Mesa, AZ 85210
          Phone]jr@cir.com[/email]
          From tabletop lighting, potentiometers, to tool bags and cases, we have what you need for your project from start to finish.



          These are the folks that Mike Dory referred me to. I once tried to buy a case from an outfit in New Jersey and it was a nightmare!

          Also make SURE you order the refills, not the ones that come equipped with plastic triggers. Those won't work.

          The correct item will say "For use with M.G. Chemicals Cat# 402-T Chrome Plated Trigger Valve". THAT is the one to get. You can just click on the link above and go right to the correct page on their ecommerce site.
