Hi Thomas. Hope you're doing well. Just got back from vacation. I use the Totally Awesome straight out of the bottle. Tom

Hi Brad, nice to meet you. Hope you're doing well. I used to use a cocktail of 70% isopropyl and old formula Windex as cleaner. About 50/50. Shaken not stirred. Worked very well on acrylics. AS I recall, the new formula has an environmentally safe alcohol in it and less ammonia. None the less, it should work fine. I never had my mix damage any o rings. The needle packing in your TRN is ptfe so that won't be a problem for sure. Be aware. The Windex could etch the chrome on the internals of the airbrush. I have a couple Eclipses that have no chrome left in the cups from that. As long as I keep them clean, they still work like new! I call it a sunny cup as chrome gets thinner towards the bottom which has no chrome at all. They don't get that way sitting in the box! Best not to leave things soaking in that cleaner. I never did that with any of my airbrushes. Hope this helps! Tom

Hi! Thanks for asking. Yes, you can. That's what we did in the Before Times! Before there was the Pro Maintenance Tool Kit. It has to be narrow enough and long enough to get down to the needle packing. With a regular screw driver, the trick is to put the packing back in without getting it too tight. Screw it in until you hit resistance. Then check it with the needle. You want it snug, not tight. So, check with needle. Snug it up. Doesn't take much movement to make a big difference. Check. Tighten. Check tighten. It's really easy to over tighten with a regular screw driver. The PTFE doesn't rebound well. Get it too tight and you wont' be able to get the needle in! At that point, loosening it up won't help much. Just proceed slowly and you'll get it just right!

@@tagteamhobbiestomgrossman2720 Thank you that really helped. Got it done and is working good. 👍

Also where can I get that cleaning kit at if you don’t mind.

@@GVJLofts2010 Excellent! Glad to hear our back in business!

Hi D! Hope you're doing well. If you've got bubbles in the cup, easiest thing to check for is some accumulation at the tip of your needle. That's called tip dry. Brush that off and you should be good to go. If there's no tip dry, take a close look at your nozzle with a magnifier. Even a little damage can cause things like blow back, aka bubbles in the cup. IF the nozzle is fine, then it's usually something loose up front. Like the Nozzle cap or the nozzle itself. Avoid using pliers! They chew up the finish! If you've got things finger tight and there's still bubbling, you might try a little chap stick on the base of the nozzle before you screw it back in place. Hope this helps. Let me know if none of this solved the problem.

Hi Tornado. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. Historically, the TRN 1 never had the O-Ring Nozzle cap. The thought was that it wasn't needed as much as with the bottles that get attached to the TRN 2. It takes a lot to get the paint up from the bottom of a bottle. The larger nozzle on the TRN 2 could stand a bit more air flow., too. Bubbling around the base of the nozzle cap isn't unusual. That's normal. If you want an o ring for your TRN 1, I have those in stock. Hope this helps!

@@tagteamhobbiestomgrossman2720 Thanks! I just ordered two N1504s and am now a subscriber!

@@tornadoalley4495 GOt the payment. Thanks! I'll get them out today.

I should probably do some more videos....

Hi Andreina, hope you're doing well. Sorry to hear you're having troubles. By pin, do you mean the threaded portion of the head base that holds it to the airbrush? Standing by. Tom

@@tagteamhobbiestomgrossman2720 hello yes!! But i already could remove it, now i have to by buy the head base again (sorry for my English, my language its spanish! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@tagteamhobbiestomgrossman2720 hello! I have another question, i use the airbrush to paint with cocoa butter, can i wash the active part of the airbrush with hoy Water with a little bit of soap? Can i inmerse that part in warm water?

@@ANDREINATEX Hi! GLad you got it out. This is the first I've heard of this happening. I sell those head bases. They aren't listed on my website, though. $6.50 Are you in the US? You sound like a chocolatier! What fun! Hot water and soap are fine for the needle and nozzle and the other parts up front. Best not to get the air valve wet. That can create other problems. Do you have a parts guide for your TRN?

@@tagteamhobbiestomgrossman2720 thank you very much for answering so quick!! Yes im a Chocolatier!! (@texierchocolatier) i broke that piece because my negligence 🙁, i tried to close very hard the headbase and i broke it , im not in the US but i’ve already bought the piece, im expecting it to arrive here next week! (Hope so) Your work is spectacular, i Will follow you to learn how yo use the airbrush!

Motul, no. Not every time. If you are careful and keep paint out of the slide parts, you may never have to do this.

Hi Keven. Hope you're dong well. I use the soft jaws out of the Iwata Pro Maintenance Tool Kit. They can be challenging for tapered parts. Sometimes, I'll let the front end of the airbrush soak in cleaner to loosen things up. Hope that helps! For faster replies, email me at tom@tagteamhobbies.com I can also attache pictures and stuff to emails!

Thank you! Still new to all this so I'm still learning a lot about airbrushes and cleaning methods.

@@k.h.raider9329 Glad to be of help with that. I'm still learning stuff myself, even though its been decades! Uh, I do carry that tool kit if you're looking for one. www.tagteamhobbies.com/hobbyshop/airaccessories.html FREE US Postage. Most orders ship the same day.

Hey Bayou Hawgs. Sorry to hear that you're having trouble. Let's take this to an email chat. tom@tagteamhobbies.com Easier to send pictures.

@@tagteamhobbiestomgrossman2720 Drat. I'm having similar issues leaking around the trigger mechanism and was looking for the answer.

@@chance9979 HI Eric. Sorry to hear you're having issues. Got an email address? I'll send you a parts guide and we can continue the conversation. Thanks! Or, write me at tagteamhobbies@pcisys.net

I'm having the exact same issue as you guys. I hope you don't mind I hop on that email as well.

@@visal092276 Got your email. Sent a reply.

Thanks!

The connector on the Iwata pistol grips is the same one on all Iwata airbrushes. It's the same size as Grex, Harder & Steenbeck, and the Iwata knock offs from China. If any of those fit your mini compressor, a TRN or Revolution TR will, too.

Go back and watch the disassembly, but in reverse?
