Default Re: paint splattering

Createx is thick & I think it even thickens more with shelf life, AquaFlow is the same & craft paints are the worst..--what psi are you using. Using a Paasche with a #3 tip & needle I've found that you can use paint almost as thick as mud, but when you do your psi must be much higher..I use around 60 psi, but even then it's sometimes better to thin my paint to a more workable consistancy..My white has always seemed the worst about thickening up & with it I have experienced splatters.?? I've experienced splatters many times!!...You may have to clean out the small air jets with welders wires, but if you have been flushing your airbrush well when put to rest, they should be OK?? Clean it well & check your paint..we need to get you back in action again, you've got to outline those flames!!
