im sure people talk about this all the time i was just practicing a project and couldn't get my createx paint to flow well... i was using a siphon feed airbrush and it was having a tough time i heard if you thin the createx to much it has adhesion problems which i found out myself..... other than that im sure ill get a good mix... but what are some cost effective paints that are ready to flow the best? that would save me a lot of time money and clean up thanks!!!
I think we covered this in one of the other question posts. I like to use Golden to practice. It sprays great right out of the bottle. Try some you'll like it. I use Createx right out of the bottle, with my bottom feeds all the time. To help stop tip dry, I put a few drops of glycerin in it. Works for me. What PSI are you trying to use? You need a steady 25-30 for shirts. It puts plenty of paint in and on the shirt. Heat treat it and you're good to go.
thanks for the glycerin tip i didnt know about that ill give that a try.... ive been gettin my paint to flow a little better but the tip dry still happens a bit with my bottom feed gun
It's not just the bottom feed as far as tip dry. How large are the jars are you using. I have invested in 20 of the 1 oz. jars and I only fill them about 1/4 full with 6 drops of glycerin. I should mention I paint shirts for my grand kids and the glycerin doesn't seem to be a problem. Not sure what others do when they paint on metals, plastics, paper, etc. I use caps on the jar nozzles and tape over the air hole. Even with that, when the paint has been in the jar for a while, I'll dump it and clean it out to be sure I don't get lumps in it. Paint in 2 oz. bottles still go a long way.
