    issues with airbrush - Iwata CS

    I took it apart to give a good cleaning and now I cant get anything to come out when back together. It bubbles in the top and will occassioanly spit out but I've tried everything and I think it is back correctly. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Sounds like the tip is blocked. Take it out and hold it up to the light and see if you see anything inside it

    +1 on the clogged tip. What I do is pull the needle out and shoot a little acetone through the AB. Carefully place the needle back in to see if any paint will still come out. I use an old needle but you can use yours if careful not to damage the tip. I also wipe the needle with very fine steel wool and place a drop of silicone lube on it before placing back in. If your caps are clean, put them back in and backflush, wipe the bowl and shoot some more plain water through it. All I ever do is pull the needle and clean the caps. I find that if I backflush every time between color changes with plain waterit is a big help in keeping it clean.
