You might be able to get by with using some Teflon tape. Wrap a very narrow piece of it around the threads of your nozzle (making your own "rubber band"). You may need to wrap it around a few times to build it up to seal. I don't know what kind of brush you have but I assume it might not be a name brand. I think that a O-ring assortment might be about the same price of your airbrush. I think the Teflon tape will work though AND it's like $1 at any hardware store.

Where your air hose connect to the gun, there is a valve inside the gun. The little rod slides down into the hole that contains that valve. When you push the trigger up and down it activates the valve to open and close. Hope it helps.

same!

Same here hah!

I’m assuming you are not able to unasseble the trigger/ air assembly. I’m that case you have to go nuclear. Get some paint thinner and put some drops down there and keep working the trigger. Even soak the whole gun in paint thinner for a day or two. Just keep working the trigger to unclog the paint. If you do get it unclogged, put some machine oil down there to loosen things up. If it unclogged. If this fails, you may have a damaged spring in the air release valve. And sorry man, it’s trash. But looks for this feature in a new gun that allows you to unscrew the trigger/ valve assembly.

I heard he is with The Dollar Tree in Van Nuys now. Keep s the shopping carts clean and in place.

Does you trigger push down and come back up? I would check the the air release valve. It what your trigger pushes down to open the way for air to enter the gun. It sounds like it’s stuck open. Maybe some Paint got caught in it, you could try a Q-tip and some paint thinner and try to clean it and loosen it up. You and use the flat part of you needle to push it up and down to see if it’s suck or not. Hope it helps.

Same here! I can put rifles together with my eyes closed, but I just couldn’t figure out this trigger. Hope your airbrush is working well for you!

It’s likely you have a paint clog. Try putting some paint thinner (solvent) in the paint cup, pull you needle out of the gun, put your finger over the nozzle so no air comes out of the front of your gun then push the lever down for air. This will run air back up the paint tube and out the paint cup. If that doesn’t clear it, take you gun apart and clean everything really good.
