				<title>Airbrush help </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Im having an issue with my airbrush, (the Iwata neo) as im fairly new to airbrushing i just bought it help with basecoats etc till i get better then will look at upgrading, but at the moment after say only a few seconds of spraying it cloggs completely with paint but i can still feel air following. <br /> <br /> I am using vallejo model air, but i havent added any thinner. <br /> <br /> ive stripped it down and cleaned it twice now, but on my second clean down i noticed the small O ring is cracked (i have ordered a new one) at the Air piston valve. could this be causing a problem with paint flow and clogging. <br /> <br /> thanks in advance <br /> <br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Well, could be a few things, realistically. Trying upping the PSI of the compressor your using(I'm assuming you are using one at all.). Also, try thinning down your paint, and adding a retarder to keep it from drying in the cup. I use Liqutex Slow-dri or whatever they call it. Works wonders, just takes a little bit of practice to see what your airbrush likes/can handle versus what it doesn't. The O-ring being damaged shouldn't cause it to stop feeding, though it might cause erratic spraying or lack there of. Definitely try thinning your paint a little more(I thin mine to a near water consistency with retarder like I said). Try running just water through it, and see what your results are. If it does the same thing with water(which it shouldn't), then you have a more serious issue than the ones I just noted.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ you don't HAVE to have retarder, but I like to have it if i'm working for a long period of time. I just don't want to have it clog up, and make it any more of a pain to clean than it already is. I'm still learning too, so don't feel to bad if my techniques don't work for you.]]></description>

				<title>Airbrush help </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ The paint and air come out of different parts, thats why you can still feel the air flowing (in most airbrush designs).<br /> <br /> Try spraying water, just plain water.  See how well and how long it sprays.  If that works well, then either your paint is too thick, or your pressure too low.<br /> <br /> See if you have a buddy in your area that has an airbrush, and can lend a hand.<br /> <br /> I don't know the neo inner workings, but if there is a tiny needle cap, and its dirty, it can clog very quickly.<br /> <br /> best of luck!]]></description>
