No probs habs! ... I know you were not saying it was crap... I was just reassuring myself that it was definitely a good product.

Sounds like a good move Madbrush
Did you tell them that this is what the store recommended you use for airbrushing though? If oil is expected at this price range (and by the way YIKES!!!! low budget!!!!!!) then there's no way their retail outlets/agents etc should be recommending it for airbrushing, and you bought under false information. If oil is expected, and to be able to airbrush you need a coelsescer, then this should be made clear at the time of purchase, when you tell them what you will be using it for. Otherwise they are selling you something that is not fit for purpose. They are definately in the wrong. Maybe try talking to them again, and politely suggesting (you gotta do the suck up thing to keep them onside etc) you believe you were miss-sold this product, and while £360 is low end to them, is a lot of money to you, and as a good will gesture maybe they could make the product usable by giving you the coelescer. (Or at the very least a very sizeable discount), or replace it with something that is suitable. You could also add very nicely, that you would be happy to tell the airbrush forums you belong to, the great service you received, (veiled threat meaning that if they don't do something they will be slated, and as Madbrush shows, will lose them business) and what a great product it is once you add the coelescer, or how wonderful the replacement is. It can't hurt to try.@Squishy....I went straight to Bambi last week and explained the problem. Was told as this is considered the lower budget range ...360 quid...yikes....and that due to lack of seals etc in this range ... oil is expected and regular draining was the answer along with moisture traps.....I now have 3 ...though oil is reduced after draining the tank...prob end up doing more maintainence and draining than airbrushing
Maybe there is a broblem... maybe not... but the way it is now I'm doing more maintenance than actual airbrushing so that ain't good...
I'm not gonna chance the oil coalescor as I believe there is still gonna be a certain amount of oil getting through.
I think I'm gonna sell this on and gather the extra cash for a good oiless compressor... then I won't have to worry about it again...
