I have to agree with you Catch22.Some of my enamels are almost ten years old.Still no problems with them.
Hej DBII... is your airbrush a double action one?
I have an cheap testors system. I found it on clearance, new for $10.00. The only reason I picked it up was for the compressor. Later I want to get a bager and attach it to the compressor. It is a single action airbrush with both top feed and bottom feed cups.
It seems that your compressor doesn't give enough of air pressure.Use water for testing.If it is working it means that you should change paints indeed.
For $10.00 it is not bad. It will give me a chance to learn how to use the thing without spending my pay check. I keep looking at the Badgers at the local art store....one day.
When I was looking into buying an airbrush before mine was given to me I read that Testors' tips were really bad. The tip might be broken, which means it'll have to be replaced. I dunno if that's the issue, but you never know.
I do not think the tip is a problem. The air is comming out and I was able to blow air through the tip paint comes out of. I may have to go ahead and buy the badger now. I have not tried to take it apart yet. I will try that after the water trick.
You can be right Catch22 but it seems that the aiirbrush could be assembled in a wrong way or there is too low air pressure for the one.Besides I'm wonder if there is a sort small hose in the jar.The tube should be long almost up to bottom of the container.
I have more time than money at this point in life so I will wait it out. If it gets to bad, I will give it to my 10 year old nephew. He is at that age were he knows everything.....
