Using a Passche VL
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 8, 2004 2:08 AM
I have just started using a double action Passche VL airbrush. And am having a little trouble.

I understand the concept of the needle moving in and out of the nozzle which increases and decrease the size of the opening allowing more paint to flow. Although it seems that I get either not enough paint or too much. I have the air pressure adjusted up to get a fine edge on the low paint but if I pull back too far I end up with a big blob of paint which I then blast into little ripples.

Is there some adjustment that I can set to stop me pulling the needle back too far? (or is it the dreaded PPP, practise, practise, practise)

cheers

Yes, the practice advice you gave yourself was perfect. Wink [;)]
If you want you can turn that little wheel just ahead of the trigger and it will move the needle back and keep it there, basically turning it into a single-action.
I would just learn how to use it though and train your finger and your brain to work together as a team. Big Smile [:D]

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
