Ok, this is not epic.
How the fuck do I use this thing? I have a shitty low-tier airbrush pump that has done me well for about a year now, but there is not pressure regulation on it meaning that blast paint if I try to paint really closely or small details, such as patterns on the sides of WW2 aircraft or small details. This is not idea, so I purchased a air regulator.

What the actual fuck is the use of this regulator
Now that I've superglued all the connections, I can't take it off without breaking something. It's losing air, but I don't hear a faintest hiss from any place, and in the end it hasn't solved my pressure issue.
