i just bought the tamiya spray works air brush compressor and i am learning to use it. this is the first time i would be using an airbrush but i have encountered a problem. first i would load up the airbrush with paint through its gravity feed bottle then i would turn the compressor on. at the instance i turned it on, the airbrush started to eject paint even if i did not pull the trigger.my question is
how should i remedy this problem?
are there hidden factors that must be adjusted so that when i turn on the compressor without pressing the trigger, no paint would come out of the airbrush?
gee thanks, that was fast! i’d check it out when i get home, so it would mean that i would push the needle all the way until its tip would potrude from the nozzle? thanks again
yup, push the needle until it can’t be pushed any more… don’t force it, just snug it up well against the tip and tighten the retaining nut… what brand airbrush is it?
its the tamiya sprayworks airbrush with compressor, this one (see below) since a badger airbrush and other brand of compressor are very expensive here in the philippines and my lhs has spare parts for this unit (it would cost me about 150 dollars or 7,000 pesos just for a badger airbrush without the compressor)
i’ll try your suggestion when i get home, thanks again for the advice
