Welcome to the forum

Hey buddy!!! Welcome back!! Get them guns out and get ta painting!!!

 

[Squishy]

I've had short periods when I haven't AB'd, and found thinking about doing it put pressure on myself. I would feel like I should be doing it, and though I wanted to, it built up into a 'thing'. I know, I know, I'm wierd . All I know is as soon as I finally put the brush in my hand it all goes out of the window, and its all good.

So, good to have you back, and make today the day.

Welcome from South Africa

I tried working today, but the AB was filty from when my wife had used it so I had to clean it first. Now I am getting lots of bubbling in the cup.

 

[JackEb]

More soaking and cleaning and checking the nozzle for damage

Naughty wife, maybe she wants to buy you a new one to make up for it?? , worth a try.

 

[Greg Geilman]

To make matters worse, she used my CS and my new Sotar to try and spray touch up paint on her car. I got the bulk of it off at the time with restorer, but the deep recesses are still a problem as I don't really have a solvent for that type of paint. Replacement may be in order.

Welcome back greg,sorry to hear about your airbrushs but you should be able to take them apart and soak em in paint thinner and get them working again just might take a little while to get the dry paint out .

 

[Greg Geilman]

Thanks, will give the paint thinner a try. I did place and order for a H&S EVOLUTION Two in One AB.

Woohoo! One more for the H&S club!

 

[JackEb]

I have one too...... its just badly outnumbered LOL

 

[Greg Geilman]

Spent 2 hours working on the Sotar, no paint at all will come out. Think I need to send it to Badger.

Welcome back Greg, sorry to hear about your brushes being blocked. I found that 2k thinners will clean pretty much anything out of the nozzle and cup. You may have to use your needle to very gently coax any dirt or paint out of the nozzle. Good to see you back anyway.

Yes 2k thinners will do the trick. Just make sure you get it all, it will turn anything left behind into gummy gloopy bleugh.
