Foaming HP-CR ?
Posted by gjek on Monday, August 18, 2008 1:12 AM
When I am blowing windex through my HP-CR foam comes out between the nozzle cap and the airbrush body. I don't notice this when shooting other mediums. I have it finger tight and still it occurs. I am sure if I use plumbers tape I can stop it but I don't think it is supposed to need plumbers tape. I am sure air must also leak out when I am shooting other medium. I looked on the Iwata site but their "On Line Tech Support" is not yet up and running. Any suggestions as to cause/solution? Thanks, Greg.

If you are talking about the piece directly over the nozzle, finger tight is not good enough.  That's what the wrench is for.  Also, check to see if your o-ring is there.

Try using some beeswax on the threads.  Works a treat to stop air leaks.
