Thank you sir, I appreciate your feedback and I really admire your commitment, Its just that I don't think it worth for me to push further, when I was expecting a smooth out of the box experience.
I've decided to move on and get rid of the thing, and I don't think I would ever go back to this brand, for me it's about outlook and freedom to create instead of being cornered at every step just because a tool is too finicky to manage paints or simply it doesn't fit my needs.
Despite the mesmerizing fact of collecting these beauties, I need to focus on the aspects of production and development.
As far as I can see, createx recommends their 4011 reducer for all of their paints and I've heard the 4012 has more content of Isopropyl but they are no longer offering it in their website and there is no data sheet for it, also I need to use what I've purchased.
Exactly!
. One can look at the spring in the valve, count coils and length, diameter and wire gauge, and search for something similar (if no calculator is available) and get an idea of the spring rate... But, that is only part of the equation. Yes, the required force to depress the trigger is for sure influenced by the amount of air pressure, as the valve head is exposed directly to the force of that air pressure. The way you measured the first time is fine, if just comparing the weight to other brushes. You will get the idea which is softer, which is firmer, etc - but, not get any sort of measurement of the weight needed to depress the trigger in actual use. For my purposes, I really am not concerned with pin pointing the most accurate readings, but consistent readings. They readings are simply being used to compare one to another (in use), so their absolutes are not really required - just ballparks will do... I did multiple readings and then averaged them together to come up with the number I did. If measurements start getting down to within a few 10ths of one another and it would make some sort of difference, I may look for more accuracy.
