Regulators and moisture traps
Posted by Dan the Man on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 10:21 AM

Greetings, this is my first post anywhere on any forum, but you folks are too full of knowledge to pass up.  I use the following Aztek set-up -

http://www.testors.com/product/136949/A4709/_/Deluxe_Resin_Airbrush_Set  it is about one year old.

My compressor is a simple, Campbell Hausfeld 1 gallon portable. it too is about one year old. 

In an attempt to improve my airbrushing I decided to buy a regulator and a moisture trap last night.  I'm confused in which order the attachments should go on.

I installed the regulator right next to the gauge on the the compressor; then the moisture trap into the regulator and then the compressors coiled hose into the moisture trap and then the airbrush hose connector at the end of the compressors coiled hose.  Is this the right way?  Any suggestions you have on setting this up and using it properly would be a great help.

On the Bench: Monogram TBD Devastator

On Deck: Likely a piece of German Armor.

Firstly, welcome, Dan!

The order should be compressor, regulator, water-trap, hose, airbrush so it sounds like you have it nailed.  Have fun with all the new painting possibilities at your disposal.  Wink
