OK, got my Omni 4000 on Monday arvo, couldn’t beleive my eyes, 4 working days from Coast AB to the middle of Oz, I almost cried[;)]
Anyway it has me a little miffed.
First usage I had paint dripping from the end, figured it was the needle seating, adjusted as required, all is well.
But when I tried to spray, I managed to get a fine line for about 30mm, and then it stopped.
Cleaned the tip, got around 50mm of spray length, stopped again.
I use Tamiya and Gunze Acrylics mostly, and allowing for the dry time I adjusted my air pressure both upwards and downwards, from 5 psi to 40 psi, not all at once, but testing at different intervals, not a lick of difference did it make.
I’m stumped as to whats going on, and dare I say it, with my Aztek 470, I never had tip dry, so naturally if there is a simple solution to this problem, I do not know it.
Mind you, the fine lines I did get blew me away, I glanced over to the Aztek, frowned, and put it on the shelf for my brother to practice with.[;)]
Are there additives for acrylics to reduce their drying time?
Any home made remedies etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
And bare in mind I live in Australia, so the galaxy of products available in the US, are not legally imported into this country, which really cramps a creative mind[:(]
Thanks in advance
Sean
BTW, the thinner I use is Tamiya X20A, don’t know if that makes a difference, but thought it was worth mentioning.
Thanks
