Temu Portable Airbrush: Art Revolution or Regret? | Sketchy Brett

[@AminAmini-z7d]

Hello, Thank you for your amazing videos. I have a question and would appreciate your guidance. I have an airbrush kit and want to use it for painting action figures. However, I don't have access to professional paints. I am using a water-based acrylic paint, but when I pour it into the airbrush's reservoir, no paint comes out. Air is released from the airbrush, but not the paint. The needle is clean, the airbrush is clean, and there are no blockages in the output. The needle is secured properly, and the pressure button is functioning well. When I use the same paint with a brush, despite it being water-based, it doesn't easily wash off with just water. I have to use a cloth to clean my hands when washing them. Could you please help me with this issue? Thank you!

nice, i have the same, also from temu but mine is bubbling... what could be the problem? i painted once, i cleaned it, i checked the nozzle and the needle but don't know what could cause it.

Thanks. Bubbling could be a few things. 1. Blocked or dirty nozzle. Remove the tip and clean it and the internals. 2. The needle might be loose or damaged. 3. Issue with air pressure. Try adjusting it to the other setting and see if that helps. 4. Paint consistency. Try changing to thicker or thinner paint. 5. Damaged seals. Check to make sure the are correctly seated and not damaged. This could allow air to escape into the paint cup. Hope this helps! 🤞

@@VAngio93 the main thing is to dissasemble and clean it after every use. Not like every stroke but if you are finished after hour or two for that session or that day, disasseble and clean it all, including tiny noozle.
