Has anyone tried or had any success airbrushing Woodland Scenic's scenic cement or any other matte-mediums to seal large areas of ground cover? Most of the sprayers I have make a giant mess, and I though an airbrush would give me better control and accuracy.
Thanks,
Jim

I have not tried this, and probably wouldn't. Cleaning up an airbrush from paint is hard enough. Using it to spray adhesive - not even going there
I use two different methods on groundwork that have done pretty well for me. First, Elmers makes a spray can of white glue that is really good. Obviously, you will want to mist coats on, and not get too close while spraying, lest your groundwork disappear in the wind.
I also use a pump bottle of hairspray, lightly misted over the groundwork. Again, misting is the key, and distance is important.
You might want to give these a try, before going the airbrush route.
Cheers,
Mike

Oooof, I agree. The cleanup would be a chore and a half. Not worth it in my mind. I use sprayers I pick up at dollar stores. I also use hairspray sometimes too. (props to mj)
