In the createx user manual they also list throwing the shirt in a dryer on highest setting for 40minutes. Does this work well at all?

@MrBoogerblood not very well no, i won't recommend it

i am looking to get into airbrushing but i need help with finding the right compressor. i was told that i should look with somthing from 40-60 psi. i looked into ones at home depot and they go up to 150 psi.. so i was wondering if i could drop a 150 psi compressor down to 40psi. if u could help me with this it would be very helpful

@joeplh yes you just need to install a pressure regulator which you can buy there at home depot also

i;ve tried heat setting this way and still washes out the paint sometimes. i usually turn the shirt inside out and iron the reverse side with the iron set on cotton (or high), and have had more success. anyone know a good top coat that doesnt need to be heat set?

check on one of the many airbrush forums for reviews of top coat products

Best bet is to buy a commercial t shirt heat press if your doing a bunch of shirts all the time to heat set your art work.
