Other Uses. Apart from its usefulness as a finishing tool, the unique facility of the air brush in the applica tion of colors, sizes, varnishes, lacquers, sensitizing solutions and the like to any kind of surface, invests it with interesting possibilities for other kinds of work. It is said that those who use the air brush find a new use for it every day. I don't doubt it. For laying delicate tints on mounts, stencil designing and mat making for display mounts, folders or commercial and sample albums; blending several portraits or com mercial photographs of articles printed or mounted as combinations; hand work in pictorial photography; isolating a figure in a group in copying; sensitizing and pigment coating of papers for gum-bichromate printing, and the sizing and sensitizing of thin tissues or extra thick papers for special printing papers, with many similar uses, the air brush undeniably offers many advantages over the old, familiar hand methods.
