Earlier today I was preparing to do some shadow painting with my airbrush - which is a Paasche VL double action. . .

I began painting and quickly noticed that I was unable to spray fine lines with the airbrush. After trial and error I finally unscrewed the nozzle that protects the sliding needle - and to my amazement I was able to spray fine lines again. I checked the nozzle and it was not clogged with any thick paint or debris. (I left the nozzle off and continued painting with my unprotected airbrush)

Note: I always keep my airbrush emaculate and flowing with properly thinned paint.

Does anyone with a VL have this same problem?
