I've only found pictures here and there and nothing good yet in vids how to put my 3 airbrush guns together. There are two that have no screwthread and seemingly you just push the bottle in?? It can fall out, I try to check with my finger if it stays in. (there are also caps with screwthread in them but I have no single clue how that could work) I've managed to build furniture, resin surfboard, photoshop projects, polymer clay projects all in a short time and now I can't figure this one out. It really got to me this one, I'm pretty down)
The other regular top loader (I'm Dutch, no idea how they call these technical things) it worked but just nearly. It sprayed so little paint that I needed to push the needle almost in the paper to see something even if I had the handle all the way back and it was not capped by the screw on the back. Playing with pressure didn't help.
There are millions of vids of how to airbrush but I really need the bascis and they always show you also how to put together and take apart a toploader. Never those with bottles. I don't have a technical name for it in Dutch and I tried Airbrush Gun Underloader 0 hits.
Now I filled a bottle in the hope that it would do better than my toploader and it's probably wasted paint now, I want to primer a plastic kit gun. But trying it on paper it left behind something so coarse it looked like texture from a wallpaper. I tried screwing the copper front a bit and it helped to get a tinnnny bit more out but it's working weird. When you screw too far also nothing comes out and what comes out is horrible.
I've been preparing for weeks building and saving up money for the ventilationbox and expensive paint and it looks like something is just wrong.

Thanks in advance, I've been spamming some Youtube vids for help but it's not working. The Dutch only have some modelkit forums where they occasionally airbrush and can't get much help there either) I seriously need some friendly hints and pointers how to make this work. I even bought a bikelift in another town to hang the ventilationbox on and it's all for nothing at the moment...
