New user. Iwata HP-CS brush. Kroma Kolor food coloring, well watered down for practice. Clarke 'garage' compressor, about 40 psi
Prior use with com-art colours I could get nice fine lines.
Working with food coloring I can 'hear' spluttering from the nozzle. Clean everything. Check with loupe, looks fine.
Needle not bent etc.
When spraying with tip close to the paper, I'm getting a broad line, and ... octopus shaped splashing / spluttering behind the line.
Questions:
Should food colouring be thinned (water)?
What pressure - 10-50psi mentioned, but nothing definitive, is it the paint thickness that defines the required pressure?
Any help appreciated.
