Memo to self... be sure to engage brain BEFORE using airbrush. The weather is warm here today so I thought I'd try to learn more about my Aztec airbrush by painting a few kits. I mixed up some Tamiya paint at about 50/50 denatured alcahol and paint. I could hardly get ANYTHING to come out. Had to open it up full and get to within about an inch of the serface. Not good. So I did what I always do, go to Armorama and search. I found all sorts of tips but nothing that seemed to answer my problem. I had been using a air can so I switched to my trusty compressor I use for my nail gun. Set the preasure at 25psi, nothing, 30psi, nothing, 40psi, still nothing. Hmmm.... what's going on here? I checked my connections, everything seemed to be ok. Looking over the airbrush I just couldn't find anything missing. Until I happened to notice the big gaping hole at the front. Maybe it would work better if I put the nozzle in? &*%$#

Oh well, live an learn.

Halfyank........hmmmm this must be the yank part causing that

LOL

Naaahh, couldn't be that!

Don't worry Halfyank... if we haven't all done something that yet, it's only a matter of time...

I'm surprised the paint didn't pour straight out!!

All the best

Rowan

Or how about like me.... scratching my head wondering why the air is not coming out...then DOH!, the aircompressor tank reading 0 psi!

-that's the 'yank' part. Why use a flyswatter to kill a fly, when you can use a tactical nuke to kill a fly

Halfyank- from Texas by chance?

Peter, no, I'm not trying to kill a fly with a nuke, I'm CHEAP! Can't stand paying top dollar for anything labeled "hobby" when I can buy things at Home Depot, or better yet grab stuff from my tool shed.

Nope, not from Texas. As a quasi liberal they'd probably run me out of there on a rail. Just a Yank Dad and a Limey Mum.
