while i was out, i picked up some beeswax lip balm. after reassembling it and using beeswax on the threads of the nozzle cap, i was able to spray water without issue. tried w/ primer and it worked! it does still sound a little raspy as it shoots, but it works.

thanks for the tip!

I just broke it down again completely and cleaned it... have to run a few errands, then I will try it with just water and let you know what happens.

Airbrush problem

I have a G34 Master Airbursh that is giving me a fit. On the last model I built, I had a bad (clumpy) bottle of Tamiya acrylic - the brush has not worked properly since that time. I bought the small repair kit as I was unable to thoroughly clean the nozzle and air cap, and I think I may have damaged...

i'm completely new to using airbrushes. is this a good starter setup? i'm sure it has limitations; what would those be?
