For the fondant bow, Ed decided to airbrush using The Pegasus, Wedding Gold Luster Dust and our Color Solution to make the most incredible metallic airbrush color! Watch the full tutorial above to learn how to do that!
When making metallic airbrush colors, you need a more liquid consistency - this is why Ed only adds 1/3 of luster dust to 2/3 Color Solution in his small Squeeze Bottles - click here to see!

CLEANING YOUR AIRBRUSH
Follow Ed's Directions above for cleaning your airbrush and read below for the list of steps he recommends:
- Pop the needle out entirely (see above video), very carefully, to clean this part of your air gun.
- To do this - loosen the tension nut on the back of the airbrush where it is attached, it looks like a bullet with hash marks. The needle should slide out, if it doesn't - use pliers and pull it out. Again, carefully. 90% of the time, this is the cause. The needle is seized at the front of the airbrush.
- Once you are able to remove the needle, make sure that it is clean. Just wipe it down with a wet paper towel, always going from back to front TOWARD the needle. Not front to back.
- Then reinsert the needle and tighten the tension nut once again. Soak the entire air gun in warm water for 5 minutes at minimum, preferably 15 mins. Turn the compressor on at 15 minutes and jiggle the trigger while under water, this will help clean everything thoroughly.
- Finally, put your finger on the tip of the air gun - while it's turned on - where the color comes out, stopping airflow. Then, pull the trigger back. This will bubble in the reservoir.
- We have an additional video demo on this step, please watch full video - at 7:52 we discuss this cleaning technique. See link below:
