Finally an explanation why my air brush was spiting! No one else ever showed this on their channels. Thank you need more of this!

[@farkastamas1982]

just as you said. i always had this problem too.

[@anthonyanzalone9742]

When I first started I thought, how can these people work with these things doing this! They must be incredible. Well, there are still some phenomenal artists, but once you get the hang of it. It's just a tool. Anyone can get good at most things. All the human body and mind needs is repetition. I encourage you to do just that and you can be phenomenal also. We all started on the same road. Just keep on walkin and don't stop until you reach your destination. You can go as far as you want. It's non of my business. I'm just saying.

[@keyb0ard620]

hihihi

[@davidlynch361]

Hi Tim where do you get the compressor for this air gun? Thanks in advance

[@timsears7541]

@@davidlynch361 I got mine on Amazon. It was a package deal. Master brand for around $120 included Airbrush,compressor,hose, airbrush cleaning tools. I have since upgraded to an Awata eclipse, and a Badger patriot 105 airbrushes. I am thinking of upgrading to a compressor with additional air tank so it won't run all the time.

[@joeynuggetz]

This is the most important and most overlooked concept in airbrushing. You’d be surprised how much this minimizes dry tip too. So many videos out there addressing dry tip and no one mentions this very important technique. Well done mate

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you so much and yes it definitely minimizes tip drying , so happy that this video has helped as I personally have seen people who are frustrated trying to do it the wrong way and then I say, “try keeping the air pressed down and just control the paint using the trigger” and all of a sudden ‘presto’ they start to progress 👍🏻

[@TT_Veteran]

I was just about to ask if this would fix problems with tip dry and frequent clogging, as thats what im running into. Thanks for beating me to it!

[@maurusloeffel]

I totally agree! I‘m fairly new in airbrushing my scale models and I‘ve always had these spitting problems after 5-10 min usage. I‘ve watched dozens of tutorials and spoke to thousands of people and no one mentioned this! If it wasn‘t so late in the evening (taking care of my neighbours) I‘d try it out right now - but then it is tomorrow ^^ I hope so much that this solves my problem and newbie-frustration!

[@NazriB]

[@deannt.7738]

I'm a beginner at airbrushing and have looked at a few tutorials, but you are the first to share that very important tip. Thanks for the info.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Glad it was helpful! thank you

[@morris.d246]

Hi Ann how are you?

[@testticklehead]

Tried airbrushing dozens of times over the past 7 years. I always got horrible results, felt defeated-pissed off, and threw my airbrush back in a drawer. I've watched a ton of KZbin vids for tips but none ever mentioned this method of keeping the air flowing. I tried it tonight for the first time and the results were incredible. I can't thank you enough for this video and your other vids which explain the proper psi and paint thinning for beginners. I'm actually sitting here trying to figure out how many things I can airbrush.

[@randomsucks2444]

I've done the same. Gave my iwata airbrush to my son. I was so tired of the crappy paint jobs.

[@bobw222]

Having owned an airbrush for about 13 years and only pulled it out once, I know understand why that one time was a miserable failure. Thanks. Loved the turtle...

[@somnitek]

IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF USING AIRBRUSHES TO PAINT MINIATURES NO ONE BOTHERED TO MENTION I WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE AIR RUNNING UNTIL NOW I always was like "what's with all this damn friggin clogging and stuff?! I thought I'm doing it all right!!!" It's been almost a year since I did any airbrushing and probably all b/c either no one ever mentioned as much to me or I never caught it when they did. I'm coming back, paint stained filter spray booth! I'm comin back to you!!! :'-D

[@AirbrushAsylum]

That is fantastic...I’m sorry you had to put the airbrush down for some time due to the frustrations, but I also understand as trying to paint incorrectly creates issues like tip drying, which then causes clogging etc . I am SO happy that this video has helped you out and very glad that you are getting back into airbrushing , happy painting 👍🏻

[@SleepySoviet]

[@adubsdablab]

Most people think it’s common sense, it is only when u think hard about it

[@zeveruz4342]

SAME, i´ve been using an airbrush for painting modelkits since 2018 and this is the first time I´ve heard of this technique, truly a helpfull vid.

[@chrisl9383]

Just bought my first secondhand airbrush/compressor and just looking for tutorials to get started. This is literally the first I've watched and I feel that I may have just learned the most valuable lesson I'll ever learn! Plus, having never even held an airbrush until today, I won't have to unlearn a bad habit. Thank you!

[@joshwebsterracing5380]

Oh my god I had no idea I should’ve kept the air running after finishing my stroke! That makes so much sense! I was getting annoying splatters when I went to start a new section and constant blockages and I kept thinking I had a problem with the actual airbrush itself. I can’t wait to try this new tip!

It’s amazing the little details like this where I was commonly making mistakes. This helped greatly. I no longer am cleaning my brush after every spray 😊

[@rdarchitect]

OMG i thought i never find a good penbrush, all of them splotch at the beginning i push the trigger, turns out i am the one that newbie here :))))

[@hexagraham3176]

I recently started trying to airbrush minis, with an Iwata Eclipse SBS, mostly for priming/basecoat. I was quickly becoming disenfranchised with he whole process, as I could not keep the airbrush from splattering and clogging after only a moment of use. I just employed your advice/technique, and have already improved quality of life with my airbrush. You sir, are a blessing, and have saved me from countless hours of frustration I'm sure. Got my sub, great tip and keep 'em coming.

[@DeadDiverDan]

Man, you nailed it! I gave up on my airbrushing because I kept getting stippeling when I started a new spot. Now I got a reason to try it again. You made alot of sense when you said that you where listening for the air. Thanks for the help

[@stuartkorte1642]

Technically dual action but in reality, leaving air on and doing single paint action is a great tip especially for those of us that can’t chew gum and walk. Thanks!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yes , so true ....I often tell my students that mastering this technique is like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time lol 😂

[@superkillr]

Almost nobody considers the "dual" action of the airbrush both paint and air manipulation. The air was always supposed to be 100%, and the paint adjustable. Airbrush Asylum isn't showing you some alternative way to use the airbrush.

[@Jonas_Fox]

Great fundamental to share. I found that a hunk of dense foam (cut from the case my airbrush came in) stuck to the trigger with double sided tape, considerably helps with control and fatigue. Essentially, the foam makes a taller and more responsive trigger that really helps. Give it a shot. I used Guerilla Glue brand tape so it's good and on there.

[@TheModelRocketeer]

I just bought my first airbrush last night... I'm very excited and I feel that this video alone explains exactly how the double action works. This will be the first exercise that I will practice. Thank you. 🙌

[@dilson4195]

Hi how are you?

[@jerryvolpini7987]

FINALLY, someone who understands the most important tip for using a double action airbrush! It was one of the first things I learned and I rarely have excessive dry tip! I'll have to try that technique of having the finger overhanging the trigger! I've seen some people use their thumb but never found that natural.

[@jacchadel]

I've started airbrushing in January, and im really thankful for your video. I have been trying to paint a car body and the paint work was pish. now it all makes sense. the blobs, the stains. I was definitely using the wrong pressure, the wrong distance and the wrong diluting. back to sanding the whole body again and priming all over... that will probably be the 4th time, but I'll learn!

[@stuartburton1167]

That splot is exactly what I have been struggling with for years. Going to get some cardboard and try your air on technique.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Glad it helped and yes, definitely keep practicing this essential til once mastered I can guarantee it will improve your airbrushing 👍🏻

[@stevie65able]

Your video completely changed how I use my airbrush. Now I have much better control. In the 18 months or so since I first watched this, my models look so much better. It has also given me greater confidence using various shading techniques.

[@librarybear3419]

I have been planning to get one for miniatures, I was comparing some brushes and didn't know what double-action meant. Most appreciated!

[@Tony-rl2fr]

Ha, great tip, I'm new to airbrushing, this is EXACTLY what I was doing. Thought it was just the crappy air brush that came with the compressor. While it may be a crappy airbrush, it was my lack of knowledge causing the splatter. Thank you!

Glad you found this tip helpful appreciate the comment 👍🏻

Thank you so much glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful 👍🏻

[@jimrogers2089]

I've been building model kits for a couple of years now but have been too intimidated to make the jump to airbrush mainly because I knew I'd want to use double action but far too often read about the "spitting paint" issue and was wary of my overall understanding of the double action mechanics...despite watching a significant amount of videos. Your video has actually given me the confidence to proceed to airbrushing. Well done, sir.

[@dykatran]

I'm very surprised that so many airbrush users don't know this most important technique. This is the very first thing that every gunpla builder who wants to paint by airbrush must learn properly before officially spraying some kit. And many airbrush companies like Mr Hobby, Tamiya or Iwata also offer trigger-type airbrushes because many users get cramped after hours of keeping the button down and pulling it back at the same time.

[@nheather]

I paint military models rather than paintings. Your video was recommended and caught my eye, can’t say it wasn’t anything I haven’t be told before but your video is one of the best explanations of it that I have seen, I particularly like the demonstration of what happens if you take off the air and paint at the same time - never seen that before. So I have subscribed.

[@helm-of-awe]

Oh mate you legend! Awesome! I'm new to airbrushing and was having a nightmare with spits! This technique in your easy to understand lesson has been an inspiration and has immediately improved my spraying, turning it into a total joy and no-longer a nightmare! Can't wait to learn more from your channel. Thanks sooo much 🤗 Happy 2022 - What a ⭐

"These people need AIR!"--Doug Quaid, Total Recall

[@steveoc64]

Airbrushing models and miniatures for years - and Im another one who didnt know this about the constant air. Looking forward to giving it a go this weekend. Also - another thing Ive learned - a $29 airbrush is every bit as good as a $290 airbrush on day 1. Then on day 2, you learn that the other most important thing about airbrushing is you need to learn how to clean them properly. A lot of the time, the $29 airbrush isn't designed to be maintained the same way as that $290 airbrush, so you end up going through 10 of them anyway :)

[@BigRalphSmith]

Actually, the $29 brushes are designed just like the $290 brushes, the only real difference is the quality of materials and workmanship in their assembly. Both of those things can be compensated for if people just pay attention and don't get lazy with cleaning and maintenance. Been using a $25 Master G22 for years and, with proper care, it still looks new and it performs better than when it was new. Of course, I was lucky to have an experienced brusher teach me how to lap in a needle/nozzle set (the real secret to excellent atomizing and spray performance) and how to rebuild an air valve assembly and I still haven't seen any videos on YT that show how to do those two things. Buying new brushes is totally unnecessary if you know how to work on your brush and know how to get parts.

[@steveoc64]

@@BigRalphSmith Totally agree ! (although, those "$29" brushes are now $15 AUD with free delivery !!) It took me many mistakes to learn how to clean a brush adequately, let alone how not to overtighten some parts and snap the threads ... so its cost me a about 5 cheapies to work out what works.

[@steveoc64]

@@BigRalphSmith Very interested to know more about lapping needles as well. There are some kits on the market that look interesting, but Im sure doing by hand with the right tools would be the way to go. Agree too that cheapy, can be made to perform better than new, if you get a good one, and do the right things to improve the flow.

[@tamiajackson]

@@BigRalphSmith oh goshhhh well put up a video to help us na .... 🙄🙏🏾😭Please..

[@piripihiku7506]

I'm not even at beginner stage, never touched one, never watched one until yesterday watching a gentleman airbrushing tee-shirts, he was so talented and that was it for me, I'm buying a set. Now, thanks to your very detailed video and explanations I won;t be discouraged, cheers mate, well worth tha 'sub'.

[@DanakarEndeel]

Thanks for these tips! I'm one of these 'old-school' types who only used either spraycans and/or brushes. I finally decided to take the plunge to try airbrushing 1:72 scale model kits (Top Gun Maverick triggered me into buying all those fighterjet model kits and stuff lol) and watched dozens of YT videos regarding a good beginner airbrush that won't break the bank as well as how to thin acrylics vs enamels (and finding out that enamel is generally discouraged because it's a pain to clean your airbrush if it dries). I settled on a nice kit for just €64 including shipping (if you have Amazon Prime) with a portable compressor and a hose plus all kinds of other goodies which seemed to have double the battery life of the other portable ones while also coming with a pretty decent airbrush (especially for the price) according to a pro airbrush channel who was throroughly impressed by it. However, nobody in all those videos I watched showed me these basic tips; especially the paint-splatter one. So thanks a lot for this. Now if I get paint splatter on my F-14 or F/A-18 I will know what I did wrong. 🙂

[@joedelusso1415]

Thanks for this important tip, I've been a spray paint user for years as part of my hobby of model railroading using mostly testors spray paint along with scale coat hobby paints here in America,Now I'm about to start a chapter of getting started with airbrushing as the two products mentioned above are getting harder to find and use as testors scaled their product line back and scale coat hobby paints are no longer available..so with that being said there's now 3 things I must teach myself to do,paint thinning/mixing,clean airbrush after each use. The one thing I that always did was to stop spraying after each pass( like a painter does painting a car at an auto body shop) rather than hold the trigger down and zip back and forth,I also used one of those plastic trigger adapter so that a can of spray paint can be used like a spray gun..TIA..

Aww thanks for that demo! I'm into Model making and received a Tornado GR1 jet fighter for Christmas. I'm assembling it quite well, but coming to the stage when I need to paint the main airframe of the model. Most videos I've seen have always highly recommended that you use a paint airbrush, it gives for a better finish. The people in the videos are skilled, professional model makers and take it for granted that you know how to use an airbrush and do not give hints, tips, advice on how to use one. I've since ordered an airbrush and waiting to pick it up. I'm glad I came across your channel. Very helpful, thank you !!

[@borgonianevolution]

I just bought an airbrush kit that had a compressor, 3 different airbrushes and a starter set of paints. Getting used to that constant on air and then manage paint flow is hard after using spray guns for larger things most of my life. After watching yours and other videos like them I have managed to get the cheapie guns dialed in where I can do smooth fine lines as well as larger even coverage. I think I am already ready to upgrade gear but will stick with this for now as more practice is surely needed. I am getting used to the mixing process and how thin the paint needs to be to get it to behave in these brushes. I am actually going to attempt a first sample image other then lines swirlies and dots hehe. Working on shading later today is my plan.

Hi Vincent how are you?

[@southerntommygun1353]

It's good to see an instructional video that doesn't assume you already know the process. Thanks!

I'm a beginner and I saw a lot of videos and couldn't use my airbrush until I saw your video, I was so frustrated that I was thinking in buy a super expensive course for just knowing how to make my airbrush work. Thank you so much! this video should be the first a beginner should see.
