on one occasion when this has happened to me i got a small cup filled with airbrush cleaner and just placed the end of the airbrush in the fluid and allowed air to flow, after a while i tried moving the needle again and it slipped free nicely.
hope that works for you


Pretty much this, your needle will have some paint on it inside or the seal will and its just set, airbrush cleaner run down the needle will soften it, gently agitate the needle back and forth and it will come free.

Then give a good clean after, and re-assemble]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5285365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5285365.page GMT Airbrush needle stuck! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5285769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5285769.page GMT Airbrush needle stuck!
can you move it a little bit, and its a "soft" stuck, or is it a hard "i'm totally bent" stuck?

if its soft, its probably that the O ring around the front are saturated and bloated, you can just pull it out

if its "hard" stuck, it probably /is/ bent]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5285857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5285857.page GMT Airbrush needle stuck! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5286097.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5286097.page GMT Airbrush needle stuck! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5286323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5286323.page GMT Airbrush needle stuck! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5287551.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5287551.page GMT Airbrush needle stuck!
First off - what sort of airbrush is it? Not all airbrushes have an
O-ring inside them, but generally all the problem will be is a bit of dried paint..

If you can unscrew the front regulator cap, then douse the end of the airbrush in airbrush cleaner, maybe use a paintbrush to help agitate it, soak the paint pot in airbrush cleaner as well, loosen the needle chuck, and gently agitate the needle backwards gently and eventually it will come unstuck, then. Thorough clean is required..

But to start - what airbrush is it? Each model will have its own little vices about where paint can get caught up..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5288001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507569/5288001.page GMT
