Hello,
I bought a Master G444 kit from Amazon and I am having a real bear of a time learning how to get it functioning properly. It didn't came with any decent instructions to speak of, just a couple of pages about how to practice drawing straight lines. After several Youtube videos, I at least got it to spray paint.
It has clogged several times since then, despite using pre-mixed Wicked paints and me making serious efforts to clean it. Each time, it can take me a good couple of hours to figure out where the clog is and get it cleaned.
Tonight, I discovered that the .2 needle had a slight bend in it and that the little thing the point of the needle slides into (the tip, maybe) had a broken thread. So, I can't screw it back onto the airbrush.
I then tried to put on the .3 or .5 needles/nozzles that came with the airbrush and discovered that I can't see a way to thread the aircaps on to the airbrush. The threaded part is not the right size.
The needles and nozzles look no different to me, so ended up putting the .3 tip with the .2 needle and at least getting it to work.
So, question number 1 is, where I can really get some decent info about how to maintain this thing? None of the Youtube videos I find go into nearly enough detail.
My second is, are the needles and tips really different sizes? They look identical and the only way I could get it working again was mixing them up.
My final question is, by putting a .2 needle with a .3 tip, am I further damaging this unit?
Any guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated...including where to buy a new .2 tip/nozzle/aircap.
Thanks,
