I have a iwata hp sb that im having big issues with. The problem is when i pull back for paint its like im pulling full trigger when im just starting to pull back. It has a new nozzle, needle, and aircap. I dont know what else to do for it.

I'd say your nozzle isn't sealed properly. I'd try a bit more tightening of the nozzle, but be extremely careful not to break it! Or using nozzle sealer you need almost no tightening of the nozzle and a good seal.

Already fixed.

Yes never use teflon tape or any other tape, While it is good for plumbing it screws up an airbrush. Bees wax or chap stick if you have air leaks.
But glad you got it sorted out.

 

[Rick Martin]

Cant remember where i seen to use the tape to seal brushes up at but now i know not to do that. Thanks again everyone.
