I can't believe my luck.
Using Medea Textile paints and have had difficult with some colours.
Black, White and now Blue. Straight out of the bottle these three colours clog up the crown, and I can't understand why.
Mix 3 to 1 (water) and these 3 colours spread everywhere in exploding firework like spiders shapes.
So today, mixed blue 4.1, painted eye ( second attempt) and crown clogged.
Maybe Medea Textile and me just don't get on.
Cleaned out my blocked Eclipse CS and on doing so jabbed the back of the needle into my palm. Hit a nerve point and the reflex action was to......
Well, I am only just shy of 6' 2" but it was a long way down even in the slow motion action that my eyes saw as my AB SLAMMED crownless Point first into the marble slabs in my kitchen.
I can't actually type what I said as I heard what I thought was the nozzle tip and needle bend at what must be 30 degrees nor can I adequately describe that feeling as I knew I had mucked up big time.
So I examined it and you wouldn't have to be an airbrush engineer/repairman to known that it was "Mucked" big time.
So I phoned airbrushes.com and got replacement parts, the new needle £10UK, the new nozzle £20.75UK plus postage.
