Excellent video! Explaining how the needle tension screw in the back is also responsible for keeping the needle secure in the nozzle is a very useful insight. Every time I watch your videos I get a better understanding of my airbrushes, and I have been airbrushing since 1996. Dred and I are still looking forward to your assessment of the new Mobius airbrush; pretty sure you like it because you’re obviously having fun with it. It seems to have a very low air speed; I think the folks at Mobius are learning from your videos too! Have a great week!
Thank you so much. I have been fighting with my Iwata Revolution airbrush. I bought it second hand but with a good cleaning and your help it is back in one piece 🎉
Great tutorial! The needle packing screw works just like the big guns! Too tight and the needle won’t slide the way it should. Too loose it will leak! Great instructions Mark! 👊🏽👍🏽
The best video out by far showing the intricacies and how to of a airbrush. The link to adjusting the needle packing screw is also the best if not the only video showing the correct way to go about it. Cheers Mark for creating some of the best airbrush content on youtube week after week.
That last tip is something I always wondered about. When I re-inserted the needle I was concerned that tightening the chuck would push the needle further forward into the nozzle and damage the tip so after I pushed the needle in I'd wait for it to make contact with the nozzle then back it out just a hair before I tightened the chuck. Been airbrushing for about 30 years and still learning. Your channel is by far the most helpful one out there.
thanks for the kind words. You'll be fine as long as you don't force or jam the needle into the nozzle. Just place it into the nozzle until you feel that contact point (no need to retract it from there) and screw down the chucking nut. Hope that helps!
Very good information, thank you. I have an Iwata HP-CS I bought a couple years ago and if I EVER use it I've got your information on how to disassemble and clean! Thank you again.
I have the same one, and honestly it only worked once. I took ot apart, cleaned it, and it only works for a few seconds before the stream becomes small then it clogs
Thank you for these great videos! Clear, concise and very well done. I am learning on equipment that has been loaned to me and am much more comfortable with this as I now know how to properly maintain them. I’ll never be able to do what you do, your art is fantastic, but hopefully I won’t wreck any guns 😂
Thanks so much for the kind words. Don't sell yourself short with painting- of course you can! I've actually wrecked quite a few airbrushes during my early years 🤣It happens but you'll be just fine! Take your time and best of luck to you.
great video, I would apprciate something similar for Mr Hobby Creos airbrush which is pretty similar but still there are some differences comparing to Iwata, so maybe a comparison video showing differences?
thanks- love this idea! to be honest I really love them both as they both spray great and are very well built. The pS771 is just one of my favorite airbrushes ever!
@@theartworkshop yeah I personally have almost all of Mr Hobby ones but love to see the comparison to see what's the benefit (if any) of switching to Iwata, I expect better quality and easier cleaning but at the same time more expensive replacement parts...either way keep it up great channel!
For me, the reason why I remove the needle from the front, is because I don't want dried paint to damage the needle packing seal. I imagine the Createx paint you use is easier to manage. I use lacquers and if I empty the airbrush it dries up super fast and becomes very hard. When I do remove it from the back I feel how it grates the seal. This is for floating nozzles though. I would never do it for screw in mini nozzles, here I am 100% aligned with you, only remove these when necessary
Of course, always go with whichever you prefer! You have a pretty great point about lacquers and createx colors which are alsoulty a much softer paint. Floating nozzles just make everything so much easier right? I just love them too. Thanks for the great comment.
@@theartworkshop I only commented because your channel is just about the only one I can watch. And I knew from earlier you said a lot of modellers watch. The only one that talks about the paint engagement point. Did you ever find a way to fix that on H&S? Or do I have to but a GSI Creos. I am having issues doing precise work with my H&S Silverline
Just got my airbrush. was spraying perfectly today. I took it apart to clean with the Medea kit, put it back together and while air is sprayed out, no paint (water/anything) is coming out. Additionally if I put something in front of the nozzle and spray I dont get any bubbles in the cup. My needle doesnt look bent when I look at it magnified...is it a sealant issue? If I remove the head, paint/water dribbles out.
what airbrush are you using? Bubbles are usually the result of the nozzle not seated properly or the nozzle cap is loose. I would check those to make sure everything is in place, but hand tight only! it's so easy to break a part by over tightening. After you inserted the needle, did you make sure to screw down your needle chucking nut?
@@theartworkshop I fixed it with this vid, iwata eclipse. I don’t think my needle lock was on tight enough so my needle wasn’t moving back far enough when I help down the trigger
I have a Badger Patriot 105 and it doesn't work double action any more paint comes out when the trigger is pushed not pulled back. Any idea what parts I'd look at to replace?
First question is how old is the airbrush? Badger has been awesome in the past at replacing or fixing parts under warranty. But that sounds to me a lot like there is a problem with the nozzle or needle, like a small clog of dried paint or damage. Does the airbrush trigger pull back okay?
My guess would be needle or nozzle damage and I would probably replace those 2 parts. Could be something else but that would be my take on it. But I would contact badger and see if they can help you out @@striperhunter-ic2wt

absolutely! Thanks JC

Helps a lot! Thanks@@theartworkshop
thx u my brother...was getting frustrated
glad to help!
Great video! I would like to see one on the Iwata Custom Micron Takumi, Thanks!
Thanks- Great suggestion!
Very good information, thank you. I have an Iwata HP-CS I bought a couple years ago and if I EVER use it I've got your information on how to disassemble and clean! Thank you again.
happy to hear it's helpful. Life is too short not to be painting, so get back at it!
I've NEVER tried air brushing (I have the equipment) but will try soon! Thank you.
I have the same airbrush and I’m still pretty newbie so this great thank you!
you're most welcome. Best of luck to you!
I have the same one, and honestly it only worked once. I took ot apart, cleaned it, and it only works for a few seconds before the stream becomes small then it clogs
Very nice tutorial thank you 😊
you are most welcome! 😊 Hope it is helpful
It really is especially the spring guide knowledge because my trigger has felt so loose since I put it back together 🎉
Thanks!
thank you so much, Jill!! so nice of you and I greatly appreciate it

I’ve taken apart, cleaned and reassembled by airbrush when I put paint inside nothing comes out. What am I doing wrong?
Me too

@theartworkshop yes,it pulls back, I've been using it and I'm pretty sure all is clean. I'm thinking it might be another part but I'm not sure. Thanks
