I'm pretty new to airbrushing but understand the basics. I'm using a Iwata Custom Micron-SB. I have the Pre-set handle set to give me a consistent line but whenever i try i do any kind of fine to medium line my brush stops spraying after a matter of just seconds. This is getting so frustrating i'm ready to throw it across the room. I really do not think this is down to Dry Tip as i have my cap removed and regularly clean the tip between sprays with finger tips.

I'm using Golden Airbrush paints

Any help would be really appreciated. ]]> AIRBRUSH TROUBLE SHOOTING firehazzard http://airbrushtechnique.com/forums/f458/fine-line-stops-spraying-not-tip-18549.html http://airbrushtechnique.com/forums/f458/nube-2-many-qs-please-help-18543.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:27:53 GMT well first an intro. i want to spray Duracoat on weapons, MX parts ect. its a resin that dries to touch in an hour. also would like to get creative with models adn helmets ect. i know time is my best asset with this. her eis the q's. adn my brush is a paache vl series. comes with 3 tips 1, 3, 5.

When using it for practising dots it's OK until I try to close the paint off, when it gives a dose of paint which splatts the dot I've so carefully created.

Only happens when practising tiny dots.

My old Vega 2000 doesn't do this, and I bought the 150 as an improvement.

Currently my old Vega works a lot better than the new 150, seeming to be a lot smoother and better able to control the paint delivery.

Just what am I doing wrong? Is it something to do with air pressure or something?

I did a fundraiser event this weekend & was knocking out the Tshirts. As I always do, I gave my Milleniums a serious cleaning & prep, with special attention shown in cleaning.

After straining & reducing my Createx, loading my bottles & giving a test run, I found that 6 of my 8 guns were working great, while the remaining 2 had no spring or trigger action at all.

There is sufficient air in the lines (running at 65psi) and switching brushes to these hoses shows no issue with air supply.

I performed a simple breakdown, thinking there must be residue in the valve assembly which was preventing my plunger from working. With the trigger removed, I used the blunt end of an old needle to replace the trigger & was able to get sufficient spring response & the plunger was working without issue. However, when I replaced the trigger it responded as though it cannot reach the plunger, leaving no spring response at all.

So, I adjusted the airvalve nut, thinking it wasn't seated correctly. Nada.

I'm open to suggestions. Both guns are fairly new & should not have any issues like this because I keep them religiously cleaned... It seems like I had a little issue with trigger action on these from the go. I keep my guns on the same color & hose placement to keep me up on any issues.

Would a new valve assembly help?

I've another fundraiser coming, and I really missed those two guns at this one, so throw me a bone.
