Hi all,
My (10 year old) Iwata HP-B Plus airbrush has just started to blow back bubbles into the paint cup.
I have checked all possible causes (that it is possible to see from the outside)
- thorough clean of whole airbrush
- tight nozzle
- no discernable damage to nozzle or needle
Another cause maybe a leak or damage inside the airbrush with the air flow channel. Unable to get inside to this area to check.
Any other causes you experts can think of that may cause this problem?
Three options
1. Purchase new nozzle (as this is quite worn from 10 years use but as I said no discernable damage) and find out if that is the actual cause.
2. Send whole thing to Japan for the Iwata technicians to check out, if they do that?
3. Purchase new airbrush
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
