What should I do if I don’t have a water trap on my brush or compressor? When I hold the trigger sometimes randomly it just spits out water

[@mightymax1337]

By far the best airbrush problems fix video out there! Short, no unnecessary talk + good explanations about whats causing the problems. Thanks!

[@Gsauce]

Best video for this. Thank you. No waffling. Straight to the point and separated perfectly 😎

Helpful tips for beginners: -Premix your paint in a separate container(like a small platic cup) and let it sit for a while, stirr again and then put in the airbrush. Depending on the paint/reducer type this can make a big difference. -Write notes on how much you thinned your particular color and how did it work, especially if your working with different manufacturers paints, but even different colors have different consistency. -The pressure you're spraying at is measured when the air is on. So you press the trigger down, hold and set your pressure. You can set many of these small compressors to for ex. 2bar/30psi but after a while (when the air goes on) it drops to a way too little pressure, because the compressor cannot keep up with the volume of air required. Depends on how much your airbrush consumes in CFM -If you have a compressor with no tank, the best thing you can do is put a hose (10m/30feet) in between your compressor and your pressure regulator, this functions as a small tank and gives the air a chance to cool down before the moisture trap. A moisture trap which is directly attached to the compressor(hot air) is not able to catch all the moisture. The air needs to cool down in order for droplets to develope. Hot air will just blow past the moisture trap. -You don't want pressure drop, it makes painting inconsistent and annoying. There is no point setting your pressure to for ex. 2bar/30psi if your compressor can only provide 1.2bar/17psi @ full consumption (what ever CFM your airbrush flows) Only thing it does, is you start with high pressure and suddenly it drops just a couple of seconds after you've started to paint. -Make sure you have a quality cleaner that works very well with your paint! Many general airbrush cleaners are very mild and do not do the job properly. This is extremely important, you don't want to constantly disassemble you airbrush! and believe it or not, but it's almost never really needed if you're doing everything correctly. -Don't use Q tips to clean inside you cup, this is one of those weird things that doesn't cause any problems for months and then suddenly one time those fibers go inside the airbush and cause problems and then you have real mess in your hands because no cleaner dissolves those fibers. -The needle lube is used to lube the needle packing srew. -Don't use needle reamers, it's not good in the long term. The cleaner must be able to dissolve the paint. -If you have freeflow=paint comes out when you press the air on, it is not because you'r needle is not seated all the way. The needle does not just magically move on it's own. It's because there's paint on the nozzle or the needle does not move freely in the needle packing screw, not allowing it to return to the nozzle or the spring tension is too low. Yes sometimes a quick fix (for a while) is to re seat the needle. If you'r airbush is clean and you test it with water very close against a black table and there is no freeflow, this setting is not going to change on it's own. If this freeflowing happens often you'r needle packing screw is leaking and letting paint dry back there and then the needle sticks. -Airbrushes are delicate, don't use any force with them. -There is no need to soak the whole airbrush in cleaner. -You don't need ultrasonic cleaners, you just need a cleaner that actually works. -Use a respirator and make sure it seals into your face.

Any ideas on how to get those 1 tip fibres out? My airbrush paint flow is awful at the moment and that’s one thing I haven’t looked into yet

[@Kay_Drechsler]

Oh my, thank you so much for the hint of releasing the water of the compressor. I didn't even know that such a thing exists and was constantly wondering why my airbrush recently started to spray so much unwanted water. Thanks again! Your videos are great!

[@LylaMev]

That one took me a while to figure out as well!

[@ClaimingKarma]

If you frequently forget or it's constantly getting full and you don't want to deal with it they also make self draining air drivers that you can put a hose on but this is probably overkill for airbrushing

[@blackthorne1497]

While I am not a beginner, I have learned a great deal about resolving airbrush issues by watching your videos. I was really impressed by seeing that you use a respirator while airbrushing. I stopped mid video and ordered one online. I have been having some minor sinus and breathing problems. Thanks for reminding me to be safe from particulates while painting.

[@DrDeepspace]

Things I have in common with Lyla Mev: - learning how to use my airbrush - LOVE those Loot minis and busts - left hand/thumb often covered in paint :D Thanks for another useful lesson!

[@bradlothrop4076]

Seems to point out all the common problems I came across the hard way: good service to the new folk. Too thick paint, through a tiny needle, at low pressure almost made me swear-off airbrush when I started. I strongly suggest this important mantra: Air on - Paint on - Paint off - Air off. Not following the sequence leads to many kinds of tip dry or clogs do not perform air/paint on all at once. "Glycerine" is a good lube to spray a drop or so through the bottom of the cup prior to paint loading (cheap too!). It prevents the paint from sticking to the needle and nozzle and acts as a bit of a paint slow-dry, it is the primary ingredient for any needle "lube". I hope things work out well for your viewers.

[@lisagal1755]

Do you think Vaseline would work as a lube alt?

[@ZombieApocalypse09]

Nice work! Airbrushes can be really frustrating if you don't know why what you're experiencing is happening. So this is a great resource for people who are new to using one.

[@davidbourland8118]

Very clear and concise. You are a natural teacher.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Oh trust me, I've encountered every one of these problems and it's part of the agony and ecstasy of using an airbrush, I find. There's plenty of times I curse the thing and put it aside, and then have to pick it up and do whatever I gotta do to get it working again. As usual, a well done and informative video from you, thank you!

[@corkcamden9878]

Good information. I have one critcism: don't use paper cups in which to mix your paint. They fall apart and the fibers in the paper invariably get into the paint and wind up collecting in your airbrush. I do enjoy your channel and I have learned an awful lot from them. Cheers, ma'am! Va. Cork

[@iainmcpherson5219]

Great collection of problems and solutions! Hopefully this will help keep me from completely disassembling my airbrush any time there is an issue

[@LylaMev]

I have found very few problems that can't be solved with a full break down and clean!

Lyla, I’m a new airbrush guy (61yrs) and your video is AMAZING!!

[@UrbanGarden-rf5op]

Very useful and well presented info for a newbie (me). Thank you.

[@laertes103]

Great, informative video. Some things I've learned when using an air brush, I noticed that when you remove the needle from the air brush you withdraw it from the rear of the air brush body. The problem with doing this is that any paint on the needle will be wiped off and deposited on the internal seals of the air brush which can cause a build up of paint on the needle seals. I always remove the nozzle first and then pull the needle out from the front of the air brush which prevents paint build up on the seals. I mostly use acrylic paints so I flush the air brush out using water, first I flush out the paint cup until the water runs out clear, then spray through with water until the water is clear. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) dissolves acrylic paints, so some kitchen paper towel with some IPA on it cleans the needle very effectively I find. I use IPA and small nozzle brushes to clean out any paint from the needle nozzle. Once the air brush is reassembled I also spray though a small amount of IPA just to dissolve any last remaining particles of paint and flush them out, then flush with more water. Hope this helps.

Smashing tutorial on common problems when airbrushing, it has answered one or two questions which I was encountering recently. many thanks and keep up the good work.

[@KnarbMakes]

Oh THAT'S why my airbrush always spit paint out when initially pressing down. Thanks Lyla!

[@LylaMev]

Glad I could help!

[@SnoddiesHobbies]

I didn't even realize my air compressor had a water trap, I was like "Oh that's what that does"

[@Philtho]

Spitting airbrushes might also be from not properly stopping properly. You need to gently roll the trigger forward and up to a stop when you're done painting. You cannot just simply lift off the trigger. It will leave paint in the nozzle, which will splurt out the next time you press down. If you slowly ease off forward and up on the trigger to a stop, it will leave very little, if any, paint in the nozzle. You can practice this on a piece of paper. Try doing it on/off then try doing it slowly ease into on, and slowly ease to off. World of difference.

[@KnarbMakes]

@@Philtho Interesting, Thanks Rap!

[@predatornotprey]

I've been trying to figure out why my gun spits water out for a few days now and never figured it was the compressor water catch, not sure how I overlooked that simple problem. I figured it was me overthinning the paint or something. You're amazing. Thanks a million

[@joshuaclark3406]

Great troubleshooting video. Thanks Lyla! I'll have this on the side as i'm airbrushing for quick reference (the timestamped chapters also help immensely).

[@Emtbtoday]

Best thing that happened to me is after 6 months of constant use the same compressor you have I had it packed up and I bought a sparmax 620 with a tank and what a difference! Not even a drop of water gets through it! I was forever getting water spray even with 2 water traps one at comp end and one airbrush end, i still use the same but the compressor makes all the difference honestly I was so hesitant thinking the single one was perfect for what I needed but it was more trouble than its worth! All this I learnt aswell with the single tank compressor soon as you move to the tanked one you won't have any of these problems unless using a sandy colour acrylic that's about the only issues you'll have! Hope you do take this on board it's made my model painting so much more fun knowi I'll not have these issues!

[@Tamcameron]

wow, your video is so simple and informative, I will try all this tomorrow. This is one of the best videos I've watched on youtube regarding these issues. Thank you

[@Philtho]

Good on stating every airbrush is different. People are always asking what PSI to spray at. The answer is generally whatever PSI is best for the airbrush you're using and the consistency of your paint. I own five air brushes, and they all use vastly different PSI for the same paint consistency. For newer people, you will get the 'feel' for it as you spray more. Practice on plastic spoons raising and lowering your PSI, add more thinner or less, etc.

[@biggestelvis]

Thank you so much, Lyla! I’m new to airbrushing and have literally run into all of this things in the last two weeks. Your illustrations and walkthroughs are super helpful!

[@sergeyzaika3320]

Amazing video! Thanks for getting straight to the point. I use a cheap airbrush and an air compressor with a battery. It does the job, however, sometimes it almost doesn't produce the paint even when there are a lot of paint and sometimes there are drops of the paint out of the hose. Trying to figure it out

[@liamcooper5202]

Havn't used my airbrush in a few months (stored correctly) and couldn't figure out why it went from working fine to crap. Spray fine then only flow air. Did a pull down and clean and problem persisted. Didn't realise I bent my needle. All fixed now. Thankyou

[@ajosepi1976]

Another good video. Problem 7: Most of the time this is exactly what happens, but if you push the needle too hard into the nozzle you can warp and or crack the nozzle giving the same problem, but sometimes the spray pattern is to one side. If damaged you should get a new nozzle and needle. Keep the old needle as a backup if it looks good. If it looks bad, clip the tip and soften it with a finger nail sponge. Use that for deep cleaning the airbrush body and replacing internal O rings. When replacing O rings, put the O ring on the needle and slide that in part way. Take the nut on the packing tool and push the needle in. I have had better luck with this method not leaking on new O rings, or Teflon bushings. The needle fits better than the packing tool, and I think that helps in some way. You can inspect the needle and cap with most modern cell phones magnifying camera. Fingernail sponges can be used to dress up a slightly messed up needle. I have fixed needles dozens of times. When you have 6 airbrushes going at once you get good at keeping them going. OH, and if you need to get up and walk away for a bit, make sure your cup is not close to empty. Keeps it from making clumps in the paint.

Omg you helped me out with all the problems I was having without having to sit through a 60 minute video. You’re a saint 🙏

[@tempusavatar]

A tip I've learned from Uncle Atom at Tabletop Minions: after cleanup and between sessions, I've started storing my airbrush in clean water when not in use, and since then I've never come back to a seized up needle. Just dry it off, blow it out, and it's ready to go.

[@WernerKaffl]

Good tips, I've been there too. I got one more common issue, coming up with double action guns like the ones you use. Always release the needle completely before releasing the airflow. If you don't, tiny amounts of paint can go into the nozzle and stay there because there's no airflow. When pushing the trigger back down, opening the airflow again, it pushes that paint out and causes spatters. It's a rather common mistake (just releasing the trigger without "closing" the needle). I switched to single action guns now, ruling that problem out and frankly they allow way more exact painting since you only need to pull the trigger back rather than pressing down AND pulling back.

[@beezelbuzzel]

Pretty baller that I'm using the same airbrush and compressor that you are. Makes it easy to figure out the issue!

[@beybladechallenge7536]

Thank you! I feel like I was going crazy all afternoon. That “little bend” or curvy needle image helped me define what a damaged needle looks like. I’m looking at my needle saying “yeah, that’s not bent”. Are they really this fragile? I’ll spray cleaner, but not tinned paint.

Very helpful. I know nothing about airbrushing. Well a little more now. I'm pretty decent at English though. There is no verb to unassemble. You disassemble. You can buy unassembled furniture though for example. But if you took it apart to return it to IKEA, you still disassemble it first. Now off to try again with my new Ultra 2024.

Excellent video👍👍👍 I use airbrush purification cup (filter). It doesn’t only prevent color impurities (like dried color pieces) from entering the airbrush but also ensures that my color mixture is always ok. Before using this purification cup, I never 😉 found the correct mix. Looking forward to your next video😃😃😃

[@LylaMev]

I've never heard of such a thing, I'll have to look into it!

[@MarldainLunas]

@@LylaMev So I looked it up. I gues it is an AK Interactive product. Its called a purification cup. In reality it is an airbrush paint strainer/sieve. It basically catches any clumps of dried bits of paint before getting into your paint cup. I have a fairly large one that is shaped like a funnel. It really does help because when you open your bottles alot, some dried paint around the rim falls in. Its not really need for dropper bottles though.

[@viperseven1922]

@@MarldainLunas It not only a filter. It has also a "sideeffect": it blocks if your mixture too thick, so you can remix instead of clogging the airbrush. There are several manufacturers (mine was from Japan) Here is a short (German) video, which should illustrate the idea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnnIg5uwe6moas0 I do not prefer a special manufacturer: they are nearly identical, but I love simple inventions. Since then my airbrush was never clogged from particles or a too thick color mix.

[@danielasalazarsilva]

I spent 1 hour trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my airbrush, saw many videos and nothing worked until I bumped into yours! I had no clue there was another part of the airbrush (tip) that could be cleaned! And yeah it was a mess and clogged. THANK YOU!!!!

[@stevenborman9110]

What I ue for dry tip is I have a small dish with thinners/water and a spge, the spomge soaks up the thinnner and every so often I gently stab the airbrush into the the sponge and with not air (obviously) move the needle in and out of the sponge. I find for me that it allows me to not have to keep stopping and using u brush etc and is now just part of my spraying technique.

[@omidesmaeili]

Thanks for sharing your experience ❤

[@micheledodd]

Your seem amazing and you’re super generous with your knowledge- it seems however that with an air brush, one spends more time fixing problems and adjusting parts and cleaning clogs etc than actually painting. I just finally gave up and threw out an iwata eclipse tonight and will probably never airbrush anything ever again because it was just one problem after another no matter what I did. I really don’t understand how anyone gets any work done with an airbrush.

Thanks for these tips. I should be trying out my first airbrush today (one of the new ones with a small chargeable compressor). Do you have any videos reviewing that style of airbrush?

[@herculeholmes504]

The portable one with an air tank attached to the airbrush? Some are bad, some are okay-ish. I'd suggest using only well-thinned paint or ready-made airbrush paint or inks because there is so little air pressure. If you get into airbrushing (and if you have the space) I'd strongly recommend buying a workshop air compressor with a large air tank if possible. Look for "silent" air compressors; oiled are the quietest by a long way, but they do use oil - not great if you spill it on your nice carpet.

Great video for new airbrush users. Thanks!

[@MarldainLunas]

For the moisture part. I am in a humid higher altitude climate so moisture is usually an issue. To fix this, instead of emptying the moisture trap all the time, I added a second trap. This one goes on the bottom of the brush as a hose connector. Solved my problems. If you are in a bind you can straighten your needle. Take flat pliers and pull outwards. When fairly straight sand it a little. Takes some time, but if you need it now and cant wait a week for shipping, it works. I have never heard of sticky paint? I have had issues with primers and finishes on reapers minis, but that was the propellant interacting with the resin. I have no idea what could cause sticky paint through an airbrush.

[@LylaMev]

The only paint I've ever had this issue with is white ink! I figured that if I have had that problem, someone else has as well!

[@MarldainLunas]

@@LylaMev Oh the white ink probably doesnt have any drying agents in it like other inks do. Most likely something that has to be heat set.

I found that a toothpick and running water can clean out the nozel pretty well. I use a super cheap AB so I have to do it often

[@RandomDude-jq9mu]

Great video! I also found that I haven't used the double action part of my airbrush correctly, which caused a frequent dry tip. That happened when I let the Airbrush trigger jump up. It took me a while to understand that regulating the flow 'off' rather than letting it 'snap back' was the cause. Not sure if that's a common beginner mistake, but I thought I share this.

[@LylaMev]

I know what you mean! I considered adding that in, but I decided I would add that into an advanced airbrush video if I ever make one!

[@MarldainLunas]

Do you mean you were pushing down for air, pulling back for paint, then letting go instead of pushing back to just air? Yeah that can lead to big sputters of paint. But for tip dry... it doesnt matter what you do, it always happens.

[@RandomDude-jq9mu]

When the brush spits water I usually unscrew the front so the air can pass freely and try to hold the hose horizontally so the water has an easy way out and hold the trigger a few times till the pressure gets weak... After a while it gets dry. No time to wait over night ;) Next time I will try ro push the Bouton to get it out of the glass thanks for the tips. I see you pull the needle backwards out of the brush doesn't it make it more of the brush dirty? I only push it out in the front because I heared it makes more work otherwise.
