12/2/2016 0 Comments Airbrush TroublesSo first of all, I needed to know why my airbrush was blowing bubbles in my paint holder portion of the airbrush, (sure there's a technical name for it, I just can't think of it), so I found this great site that helped me reaize why it was happening: https://sites.google.com/site/donsairbrushtips/troubleshooting.
That page was so informative. It made me see that my nozzle was clogged. I tried cleaning it and in the process I bent and broke the tip. So I went searching for a supplier for just the parts I need. EUREKA! I found a jackpot site for the part I need. Rather than buying a whole new airbrush assembly, I am purchasing the parts I need for $23 which includes shipping! I AM SO THRILLED! The replacement airbrush would have been $80! You might be asking where is this magical place. I'll tell you, it's called TCP Global - http://www.tcpglobal.com. You can find many airbrush replacement parts here. Match up your style and then order. You can do some simple breakdowns first, by typing into Google the type of airbrush you have. If you aren't sure, do a reverse image search. Once you know what you have, (I have a Badger 150 and a Master Airbrush S68), type that into Google, and then type the word "schematic". This will show you a blown up version of all your parts. When you see what part is damaged you can order that part, or a whole repair kit for all those little parts and pieces. Make sure when you are taking apart your airbrush to do it over a piece of white paper so you don't loose any important pieces. I am so incredibly happy right now! The biggest thing I've learned from this is to clean the airbrush by soaking it, weekly. Not just a quick rinse with chemicals, but literally soak it and clean all the parts and pieces. This will in turn lengthen the life of your airbrush. Happy Caking!
