Rant with question

[vintagestang]

Today I tried my second Paasche airbrush. I am (insert adjective here)! I got a Paasche E-Z starter ab last Christmas and when it didn't work they gave me another. Now my new one won't work! Air will come out but no paint will come out. It is siphon feed and I have had it apart to clean it. What am I doing wrong?!

Are you adequately thinning your paint?

I bought a A/B from harbour Frieght tools, did the same thing, so I just got the Started one you did I think, and have had no problems with it, is the tube loss or not have a tight fit ?

[vintagestang]

The tube might be loose.

Is the tube a little above the bottom of bottle ? I had some tube once that was too long and hit the bottom of the bottle so it could not be sucked up. Will it spray thinner or water ? if it does then it's a paint problem.

I fixed it on accident. I took it apart and ran the needle and tip through water put it back together ajusted air pressure and it worked.
