Anyone know if there is a .05 nozzle kit available for this struggling with the standard nozzle on anything lower than prime will spray fine for a while then clogs that's using Vallejo Air
Haven’t had an issue with mine Brian.Anyone know if there is a .05 nozzle kit available for this struggling with the standard nozzle on anything lower than prime will spray fine for a while then clogs that's using Vallejo Air
After watching the H&S videos on the Ultra I use a short bristled brush to stick in the access holes in the nozzle to clear the tip. This I do after nearly every couple of sweeps of the AB over a piece I am spraying. So after a couple of passes I will stop spraying, dab the short bristled brush into all four openings in the nozzle end.I think the standard size in those is 0.45, so practically what you are asking for anyway.
I doubt that is the problem though, more likely you aren't cleaning the tip regularly enough, as Mark suggests.
As Andy says it’s a .45, but as far a I know that is only the needle cap, the needle is .04, they made the needle cap a little bigger to prevent blocking or tip drying. It’s a fantastic airbrush, certainly wouldn’t class it as the entry level, but it is.Anyone know if there is a .05 nozzle kit available for this struggling with the standard nozzle on anything lower than prime will spray fine for a while then clogs that's using Vallejo Air
Around 18-20psi gave it a good strip down clean and it seems better, found some paint residue around the air Vvwhat PSI are you using?
18-20 is usually where I operate. Fingers crossed Brian the strip down cures your problems with it. It is a great AB.Around 18-20psi gave it a good strip down clean and it seems better, found some paint residue around the air Vv
With Vallejo MA and other water based paint you do get very different experiences reported by users.Anyone know if there is a .05 nozzle kit available for this struggling with the standard nozzle on anything lower than prime will spray fine for a while then clogs that's using Vallejo Air
100% agree with this. Graph paper is quite good for practicing line and shape following as well.Right I'm not going down the lacquer/ acrylics Road but if your just starting out sit down with some plastic picnic spoons cheap on flea bay ,a few sheets of printer paper and teach your self how to thin paint/set air pressure best for you ,you can be shown this but your the only person who can learn it. Its the old adage its not the golf club its the man behind it im afraid your be surprised a little practice makes all the difference.
