Doggy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi all. Is there such a thing as a blow back cap to help mix the paint in the cup? I've found a spatter cap but I can do that without even trying. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Barwell’s do these. https://barwellbodyworks-shop.com/gb/omni-series/1004-protective-cap-rubber-cap.html?search_query=Cap&results=32 But keep your finger on it when blowing back or it will shoot off. But that is double the fun. When you are a bit bored you can line up some Airfix 1:32 toy soldiers as a shooting gallery. Aim the airbrush, apply air, and watch the rubber end cap knock the soldiers down 😀 Not sure if H&S actually do one. I have a dim memory that when they did the ‘cult of paint’ kickstarter they included one but was special edition - but also my mind may be failing me. If they did, those special editions were sold exclusively through element games so if they are available separately it would be from them. Cheers, Nigel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckw Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I think I had one with my Ultra - but if I did it's long lost. I just use a wad of damp tissue. Cheers Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-cars Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Yes we stock them and normally supply one and cleaning brushes with the airbrush. PN 128990 They are a yellow plastic cap you put over the airbrush to force the air into the brush to mix paint or help to clean the brush. A little cheaper than the £3.20 that badger charge for a rubber cap. When we charge it's £0.30 If anyone needs one send me an SAE and I'll drop one in the post. The address is under contact on the home page of the website H&S Yellow cap Paul 40 minutes ago, nheather said: Barwell’s do these. https://barwellbodyworks-shop.com/gb/omni-series/1004-protective-cap-rubber-cap.html?search_query=Cap&results=32 But keep your finger on it when blowing back or it will shoot off.

Kev The Modeller Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 If you've got the H&S pinch tip, just use a a bit of kitchen roll between your fingers, saves all the mess inside the cap and it's much quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
