I am hoping this will prove to be the correct place to post this question: In a short while I will be off on holiday on my canal boat, I am signed-up for a GB so will be making an aircraft model during 'down time'. Space is a premium and I will be taking my spray booth but my compressor might be too much gear! I have used can propellant back in the day (small compressors used to be quite expensive back then) so I am reasonably aware of their shortcomings. Has anybody tried to fit a pressure regulator, as used on a compressor, to a propellant can? Would it work to supply the 15psi I tend to use, would it help to reduce the likely hood of icing-up as the airbrush demands would be less, would it cause the propellant to last longer by reducing waste? Hmmmm rather more than one question methinks! Thank you and I look forward to some constructive advise (in the meantime I will see if I can cobble together a suitable mechanism and give it a go.)

Hi everyone, I recently bought a Revell starter airbrush set and rather than a compressor it came with a 750ml can of propellant gas. I am just wondering if anyone can tell me how long this can will last as I want to start using it to paint some of my upcoming kits with it ? Also if anyone has a recommendation for a compressor, please pass them along. I don't want to start painting my Star Trek Into Darkness USS Enterprise if this can isn't going to last. Cheers, Rick
