When you are new to airbrushing a
problem like this can drive you to the brink of throwing the airbrush
away.
Relax; take a deep breath it’s just paint. You are wanting
to learn to airbrush as a way of releasing your creative side and relaxing
please don’t lose site of those goals.
PROBLEM:
You
push down on the trigger of the airbrush and paint is applied (sprayed) even
though you are not pulling back on the trigger. |
|
Pictured above are the resulting
splats you might get if the above problem happens to you.
*** This is the number one reason you ALWAYS test your
airbrush before going to spray on your intended painting surface. You want to
make sure your airbrush is functioning properly before one of these slats ruins
hours of hard work. |

Pictured above the working end of
my airbrush and as you can see the needle is protruding out the front of the
airbrush.
For this problem to occur your needle is not seating in the
nozzle of the airbrush correctly.
Loosen the chucking nut and make sure
the needle is all the way forward in the airbrush, seated in the nozzle.
Careful push the needle toward the front of the airbrush while rotating
the needle, you will feel the needle come to rest inside the nozzle. Do not
force the needle into the nozzle as you will ruin your nozzle.
Try the
airbrush again if still is spraying paint when you push down the the trigger
move on down the list here. |
|
Pictured above I have taken the
needle out of my airbrush and will inspect it for dried paint on the tip which
might keep it from seating in the nozzle correctly. Also check to see that the
needle is not bent. Clean the needle, lube it and put it back in your airbrush.
Try your airbrush if the problem is solved cool if not move on down
the list. |
|
Pictured above I have removed the
nozzle from my airbrush to inspect it. Make sure there is not dried paint
inside the nozzle that is keeping your needle from seating properly, make sure
the nozzle is not deformed or cracked. Replace the nozzle if you find it to be
cracked or deformed. Clean the inside of the nozzle out with a airbrush tip
cleaning kit, cutting touch tip cleaning tool, straight pin just be careful not
to ruin the nozzle in the process.
Soaking the nozzle in cleaning
solution might be helpful also. Try your airbrush now after going thru the
above steps it should work correctly. |
