About product

U-STAR hand-held painting holder

Painting small parts by hand is the quickest route to fingerprints, greasy marks and scuffed paint. A hand-held holder solves that simply: the part is clamped into the aid and everything else then happens out of reach of your fingers. You hold the tool, not the model.

When its turn comes

Its main stage is spraying and the drying that follows. With the holder in your hand you can turn a part to any angle, reach the lower edges and the shaded places, and you do not have to change your grip to do it. It does the same service in brush painting, in applying washes and in dry brush work, where a part is handled constantly and a steady support is needed. Once a coat is done, the holder is put down with the part still in it, so the paint dries in the position in which you applied it.

What to watch out for

  • Clamp a surface that will not be seen, or a part you will be painting last in any case.
  • Choose the clamping force with care; thin-walled plastic parts are easily dented.
  • Do not lay the holder on its side between coats; the part would touch the surface.
  • Keep cleaning dried paint off the clamping part, otherwise it transfers to the next piece.
  • On longer sessions, rest your forearm on the bench; your hand will then stay steady much longer.

Who it is for

For modelers who spray with an airbrush or paint large numbers of small parts, and for figure painters, for whom a steady hand and a constant distance from the surface are half the result. This is bench equipment, not a kit.

FAQ

Fingers leave prints and grease in fresh paint, after which neither the next coat nor the decals will hold. A holder also keeps a constant distance from the nozzle, so the spray is even over the whole surface.

Yes; with figures, working with a holder is the rule rather than the exception. A figure can be turned toward the light, which is essential in shading and dry brush work, and your hand has support for strokes with a fine brush.

Not at a sensible force, but it is best to clamp a surface that will not be seen, or a part that will be painted last. On thin-walled parts clamp carefully, as the plastic can be dented.
