O-ring

One of the problems with the Chinese made airbrushes (and the Harbor Freight is Chinese made) is that the O-rings tend to self destruct after a while, and it can be hard to get replacements.  My Master G-22 could use a new nozzle O-ring, but it would cost me about $13 when you figure in shipping and the other parts I would have to buy with it.  It's stocked as part of a kit.  Harbor Freight would probably ship you a spare, but shipping will run about $6 and you can get a whole new airbrush for $15 when they are on sale.

You might find something that works at your local auto parts store if you're lucky.  Often, you can do without the O-ring if you coat the threads with something like bees wax or Chapstick.  That's something you might try.

Thanks Don.  Those are good points and I will try them out.  At 16 year retirement from Col. Oh. Fire Dept.  even a $50 AB is a little out of the budget considering the models are $20 - $200 and climbing!    Thanks again.

I can appreciate that.  I am retired too.  Try the Chapstick or other lip balm.  If it sprays OK, don't worry about the O-rings.

Thanks Don.  I'll give it a try.  I miked the ABs and trying to find  anything close ether standard or metric can leave you talking to the mirror.   The mirror is right most of the time.   Thanks Bud.
