I recommend using a make-up sponge to use instead of paper towels for dry tip issues. These things are thick enough to poke without going through and absorbs water/cleaner for longer.

I got an airbrush for the first time about 3 months ago. For spraying a Discovery rocket after years of painting by brush and ballsing it up. It was a Timbertech dual action from Amazon. It worked great and did a great job. I watched a lot of videos and yours were very helpful. Your tips are not tips there skills. People pay attention! if your going to use an airbrush!!!! What I found with my airbrush was for around 4 weeks after I finished I had vibration finger, not sure if its the airbrush or just how I used it as I was using finger compression a lot.

Completely new to airbrushing. I'm doing my first model (P-40B) and doing ok with the Timbertech airbrush, not great but passable. My question is: do I have to break the airbrush down to clean it thoroughly EVERY time I use it, even for just a tiny bit of paint? Or can I just blow it back with reducer and give it a full cleaning every 4th or 5th time? Great video by the way, you highlighted all the things I'm doing wrong that I can improve on, thanks!

@Chibanah 2 роки тому

Instead of pulling out the needle from the back, remove the nozzle (you should remove it anyway for cleaning), and push out the needle from the front then pull out the whole needle. In this case the back of your airbrush will stay clean for longer time, because you don't pull extra paint in the back of your airbrush with this move. When I was new to the airbrush, I also pulled the needle from the back, but then I needed to clean the back of the airbrush more frequently. After I started to pull it out from the front, I barely need to clean the back of the airbrush.

@richardramey5943 2 роки тому

In house painting I am at times needing to take parts and pieces of to paint using airbrush on an item hanging on wire would work better with the air brush instead of a regular paint brush. Am thinning down the oil paint but still have issues. If keep thinning down it gets to very little paint more thinner . Any advise for using oil paints ? Thank you !

@AirbrushAsylum 2 роки тому

If you need to use an airbrush to apply then run your paint thicker and use an airbrush with a 0.5mm or larger needle / nozzle setup. Turning up the PSi will also help to propel thicker paints through your brush. Hope that helps.

I would like to ask you a question I'm using createx paint to paint RC cars depending on the outside and inside do I need to put some type of additive so that the paint can Flex

@duanemarshall9486 2 роки тому

I paint rc bodies almost exclusively with createx paints and the key is proper prep and light mist coat then medium cover coats allowing full dry between coats. I prefer using the wicked line but also use the regular createx line and add about 10% 4050 to it to help adhesion.

@AirbrushAsylum 2 роки тому

Thanks for your comment, most of the waterbased colours have no issues when flexing. That said it usually becomes an issue when clear coating, with RC bodies you paint from the inside so your shell is essentially the clear coat, if you wanted to use waterbased colours on something that has flex ie...a snowboard then I would highly recommend adding a flex agent to your clear. Hope that helps. 👍

@goilo888 2 роки тому

Pretty much the same reason I gave up using it in the early 80’s. Well, that and all the mask cutting (I’m terrible at freehanding). In recent years, if I use one at all, it is with water based paints.

@davidkoloc1313 2 роки тому

A properly running airbrush shouldn't need to be cleaned between colours. Quickly shooting water, alcohol (or solvent, as the case may be) through it and a quick back flushing is all the purging that should be necessary between different colors. A cleaning at the end of a session is a good idea but I don't even always do that if water or cleaner has been run through it after the last color. Maybe I'm spoiled... but for my Paasche AB for fine detail (which is an entirely different animal), I use a variety of Iwata brushes and paints formulated specifically for airbrushing such as Medea/CommArt, and Createx. This likely improves the maintenance and cleaning regimen.

@rrl4245 2 роки тому

@@davidkoloc1313 Thanks for the advice. I'm always paranoid about cleaning my brushes, But it takes time and effort and discourages me... Perhaps I just need to relax.

@davidkoloc1313 2 роки тому

@@rrl4245 Yes, do relax. Nothing unfixable is going to unfold. The worst that can happen is the need for a deeper cleaning will result. Do you know how to quickly back flush your airbrush, as I mentioned ? If not and you wanna learn how, let me know, I'd be happy to explain how to do this. It only takes a second and it's something I do often while working, just to keep things flowing alright, especially if I'm using thicker paints. Can I ask what kind of airbrush you've purchased?

@rrl4245 2 роки тому

@@davidkoloc1313 I do understand back-flushing. I only shoot (modeling) acrylics. and I encounter the biggest problems with tip drying. I do, on occasion find paint dried on my needle, when I pull it out for cleaning. Otherwise, I worry most about paint dried in the cup. In any case, thanks for the encouragement.

@herculeholmes504 2 роки тому

I find rocking the trigger on my H&S Ultra quite uncomfortable; I've been trying to let the trigger forward after I spray but it's a strain on my finger, so I just release it and _then_ give it a quick puff of air. I've tried three different makes of airbrush and it always feels completely natural to just let go of the trigger button. I don't know what single-action airbrushes are like, but the dual-action airbrushes I've tried are too stiff; pressing for air is stiff and pulling back for paint is stiff - and on the H&S there's very little travel between minimum to maximum, which also puts strain on my finger. I noticed that after a while the strain builds up in my wrist and starts to go up my arm all the way to my shoulder.

@AirbrushAsylum 2 роки тому

Fair enough, if that works for you then thats great. If you want to loosen the trigger tension then try unscrewing the handle and the rocker assembly has a section which screws into the housing of the airbrush, if you wind this out, you will allow the spring to open up and loosen the trigger throw and if you wind it in then you tighten the spring giving you a tighter throw on your trigger action. Hope that helps. 🤘

@herculeholmes504 2 роки тому

@@AirbrushAsylum I tried out your advice on my cheap unbranded airbrush and it works a treat, but my Harder & Steenbeck Ultra has so little screwthread at the back that no adjustment is possible. I think it was designed like that on purpose for some reason - mysterious German engineering. Being a bit frustrated I did some searching on the internet and found a tip about cutting the spring short - I didn't want to do that on my H&S so I cut the one from my cheap airbrush to size. It works. 🙂 I've been playing around with my newly modified H&S this morning and the difference in the feel of the airbrush is extraordinary, it's a different airbrush, it's much more comfortable to operate, and now I'm doing it the same way as you, returning the trigger manually instead of letting it spring back. While I was at it, I discovered a new technique - probably one that a million people know already but it's new to me: for fine detail (I'm painting models and miniatures), I'm pulling the trigger back just enough to "load the tip" and then using _just_ the air until the paint or ink runs out, and then repeat. A bit like dipping an old-fashioned fountain pen. Thankyou AA, for a cracking excellent tip.

I use a spraybooth from Belkits, depending on what color I use - yes, I do use a respirator (mask) from 3M. Mainly use Ammo by Mig Jimmenez colors for plastic. What I tend to do is, I have a bit of clear acrylic, I spray on that first to see how the color would look like. Something that is good with a spray booth, is that it has a fan, so it takes all fumes and you connect it to a window - so it all goes out there..
