tigger Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 UPDATERight then, I think I've solved the problem. I had replaced the o-ring between the airbrush body and the nozzle a while back, it seemed a lot thicker than the old o-ring which I didn't think was a biggie ..... it seems I was wrong. It prevents the nozzle from screwing on fully, and this tiny difference seems to prevent the airbrush from functioning properly - ie pushing fluid out. Anyhoo - I've taken the o-ring off completely and this baby is blowing water through like a firehose Isn't that what I said?? John Hopefully you have got it sorted, most problems with airbrushes are small and once diagnosed relatively easy to rectify. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hi John yes you definately alluded to the right area, I suspect the problem is the seal was too thick preventing the nozzle from fully seating properly, the original seal was rubber and almost micron thin, this replacement was 1mm thick so quite a difference. Many thanks, hopefully this will be the issue solved John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Dan~ Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 It's what I said too. What do I win? I always loosen off the nozzle when my airbrushes are not in use as mine have nylon 'o'rings which become flattened off very quickly otherwise.
