>>11263960went ahead and bought it. I really hope I have less trouble this time around. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, because I'm not doing anything I wasn't doing before on the 4 models I've painted using my chink brush already.
I add usually about 2 of the small AK pipettes worth of leveling thinner, and then a few drops of mr idiotretarder, then add some paint (making sure to keep more thinner than paint) and back feed the air to bubble it up and mix it. I wouldn't be surprised if the back feeding is what gets me, but its what I've done every time and usually it works just fine as long as I have thin enough paint.
But what actually ends up happening is the airbrush is totally clogged before I even start spraying for real, or it just spatters out slowly. Compressor set somewhere around 20 psi
Then I inevitably add more thinner to fix it, and mix it in, and now suddenly its TOO thin and may actually spray better but its effectively just slightly tinted thinner so it doesn't stick and just runs off like water.
