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!

[@morris.d246]

Hi Ann how are you?

[@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 👍🏻

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! Thank you so much!

[@foreverthefool2863]

Yup that's me over here using my airbrush as an spray can. As someone who has never used an airbrush before this is the best tip I've found looking at dozens of airbrush tips videos.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your kind words glad you like the videos. ☺️

[@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.

[@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!

Hi Rene how are you?

[@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.

[@SeanOzz]

i am blown away at the comments here. saw this and was like come on man, this is common knowledge. then after reading the comments i see it is not. so good for you spreading this to all these people that were not aware. if you did not know this than this is for sure a game changer for you. keep spreading the love!

[@inkalchemisttattoos3150]

Incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much! I practiced for the first time tonight and I’ve definitely noticed what happens when you do it incorrectly vs correctly! Excellent explanation!!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you 🙏🏻 glad you found it helpful

[@torydz]

I do airbrushing on cars. I've used the Sears Model 364-15506 airbrush for over 40 years. You can mix just as much paint as you need. If you use a traditional spray gun or even an aerosol can, you have a large spray pattern of like 6-8 inches for a tiny 1/4 chip. With an airbrush, you have precision control and can actually get to the point, with a little practice, where you can perfectly fill in a tiny scratch with no masking and little to no overspray. With acrylic lacquer, the paint goes on very thin (with a 50/50 paint to thinner ratio) so you have to hit it several times. But with the airbrush, putting down multiple thin coats is very easy and clean to do. Just like in the video, it's important to get an airbrush that has variable paint output. Kind of like a variable speed drill. With the adjustable airbrush, you pull the trigger back to increase the flow of paint. A lady I know is so precise, she can airbrush intricate designs on ladies' fingernails. It's good to practice with water-based paints on scrap material first. Before you know it, you'll be an old pro! Great video!!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you so much for sharing your info on the brush you use and you summed it up well. All the very best from Australia 🇦🇺 and glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@torydz]

@@AirbrushAsylum I didn't realize you are in Australia. What a wonderful and beautiful country! I'm in the U.S.

[@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.

[@nomocooties6996]

That was by far the BEST short and informative tip I've seen for a beginner. Thankyou

[@ruthballardart]

Oh, I was doing it ALL wrong! Thanks for telling me the right way! I just bought a Patriot Arrow, so I'm very excited. I love your turtle and eagle!

[@toddcercone6715]

When I read the title, I said out loud, "Keep the air on.", before I clicked. Well said, sir.

Yes , I’m glad it came across clear as it definitely is the most important thing that most people over look 👍🏻

[@charlesgallagher1376]

I thought the same thing.

[@svenjones4371]

Great tip. Normally everyone explains the splatter on paint being too thick/thin and never mentions it is because you aren't keeping the air going.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Glad it was helpful! ☺️

[@veekleek7535]

Thank you, I had issues with the paint drying and splattering like you demonstrated and never knew it was because of incorrect paint shut off. Only got an airbrush recently so this was helpful.

[@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..

[@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..

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!

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 😂

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.

Tip from my side. You can pull the needle a little bek and leav tighten it so that e is open. And then you can use it like a single action and fill better

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. 🙂

As someone just starting to use an airbrush (miniature painting) those splatters are really magnified. I feel like I just discovered a cheat code. Thanks!

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