Members CitizenKate Posted June 24, 2009 Members Report Posted June 24, 2009 For spraying an acrylic finish, I found those cheap single-action sprayers (like the ones you find at Harbor Freight) worked much better than my airbrush. You would still need to rinse it out with warm water after each use, but other than that it is pretty trouble-free. Kate Quote
Members Shorts Posted June 24, 2009 Author Members Report Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the hugs. The airbrush seems to be only a cut out of everything that feels like its piling on lately. Thanks life. Yes, I clean after every use. It gets taken apart, washed, rinsed and set to dry, always. Which is why it is frustrating that its acting up. I guess it wasn't thorough enough. I use a Badger 350 which is the name brand version of the HF one it replaced just in Nov/Dec-ish...that also broke due to the same anti-Resolene behavior. Actually, it didn't just "break". I got fed up with it one night it sorta got put between the hammer and the anvil...which broke the threads for the airline...which required a new airbrush altogether Yes yes, my anger gets the better of me now and then - which is why I work out so much. The positive outlet is such much more productive than smashing things with a hammer <sigh> I'm looking at Resolene prices now. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet, buy a jug and start dipping. Edited June 24, 2009 by Shorts Quote

Members ryano Posted June 24, 2009 Members Report Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) How big of a piece are you trying to spray? Go to your local paint store and get a cheap paint viscosity meter. This will check the correct viscosity of the resolene, which in turn will give you a number that you can look up in your A.B manual to obtain the proper settings for you A.B..If it is too thick, thin down with water.
