Nifty discovery makes me Happy, I bought a double action air brush and didn't know it!!!

COOL................. I forgot to post this a while ago so, check this out and try to understand my excitment! I was airbrushing one day, the first time I had ever used my airbrush, ever! And I made an interesting discovery. Keep in mind at the time I knew nothing about airbrushes! When I pused down the button on the spankin new Testors airbrush, all I heard was air. Dumbfounded, I checked everything over twice then tried again, same results. So I finally read the instructions.(leave it to a modelbuilder to not read the instruction sheet, how ironic!) I learned that in order to get the paint to come out, I needed to pull the switch down, and back. So I played around a bit and had fun. Then I read the FSM article on the part one airbrush roundup and found out that I was the proud owner of a double action airbrush. I'm just tickled and intend to put it to good use when the weather warms up.... what a happy day!Big Smile [:D]Whistling [:-^]

I feel your excitment, I have a similar experience when I got my Aztek (first airbrush) over 10 years ago! Like my wife tells me...ignorance is bliss! Have fun with it my good man.

It's amazing what can happen when that needle moves rearward and allows paint to flow isn't it? Big Smile [:D]Wink [;)]

Glad to see your excitement about it and we hope to see what you can paint with it when you get it going.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
