H& S infinity problems help

[bazers]

Thanks Jim ,I have just stripped airbrush down and checked nozzle and it looks ok but will check your other ideas with needle eta, no clubs near me .
Just thinking back I was getting the same problems with my iawata neo that's why I bought the infinity,!!!.

Hi again Jim have tried all your ideas everything looks and feels ok ,checked this morning when we had bright sun and large magnifier the only thing i spotted was a slight ring around needle were it would sit in nozzel but it is not a groove .

Have you cleaned it completely yet (complete deconstruction of the ab) and tried spraying some thinner through it? I'm curious wether these helped or not. And maybe a question because I noticed you didn't mention it I think: which paints do you use through the ab?

Hope one of these work out because in general H&S ab's are among the best out there

Cheers

Hi Barry
If you have done the checks then the needle/nozzle are unlikely to be the problem. Sorry but I am right out of suggestions. It must be so very frustrating. I hope the problem is sorted soon.

Hi Wouter sorry thought I unanswered your post, yes completely stripped it down and blasted some thinners through ,the paints I use are Tamia thinned at 50 50 also ,tried 2 paints to 1 thinners results as in photos but I did notice the higher pressure ie 32 p s i produced better results see photo's don't know if there's a clue there.

mmm...that's strange, and Tamiya paints are normally quite forgiving. What thinner do you use? You probably already know but to be sure there are two good thinners in my honest opinion: Tamiya Lacquer Thinner and Mr. Levelling thinner. The latter gives superior results (I usually thin 60-40 or more). Tamiya Lacquer Thinner I use to clean the airbrush with these days. Do you have a second nozzle and needle (my H&S Evolution 2 in 1 came with two different sizes of needle and nozzle)? If so, try out the other set and see if you have the same result or not. You might have tried it already, I'm not sure but I'm trying to think of a solution. Hope it can help, because a 4 months old airbrush shouldn't give you overspray like this :/.

Cheers

As Wouter says, that's odd. What air hose do you have? I had problems with an old airbrush a long time ago and found that the air hose had collapsed so was restricting the flow.

I use Tamia acrylic thinner I can try a diff one , no extra nozzle ,will try a few more different thinning ratios if that don't work will have to buy a new nozzle and needle.
Thanks for all the input you and all the other guys have suggested if I get it sorted will post to let others know

Thanks Pete that's one I can try as my hose is fairly old.
