For those new to the world of airbrushing T Shirts here is a short article on preparing a T Shirt for airbrushing.

First you must separate the back and the front of the shirt, to accomplish these what is called a T Shirt board is used. Common sense tells you if you didn't separate the front and back you'd end up with paint on both sides. To separate the front and back side of a t shirt you'll use what is referred to as a shirt board.

T Shirt boards can be made from foam core board, card board, 1/8 th inch masonite or hard board. Cut your T Shirt board about one inch bigger than the width and height of the T Shirt you will be airbrushing. With the appropriate tool round the top corners of your T Shirt board off so as not to snag on the shelves.

With your T Shirt board cut to the correct size and the top corners rounded off insert the shirt board into the T Shirt. This of course will separate the front and back of the t shirt so the paint will not bleed through to the side you are not airbrushing. Tape the sheelves to the back of the t shirt to keep them out of the way, so over spray does not collect on them.

There you go pretty easy stuff.
Its just paint have fun.
