I have an inline Paasche moisture trap that I've had for about 6-8 months. I recently noticed the airbrush was losing pressure. So much so that I could barely get any but the most diluted paint (acrylic) through it. And the coverage was terrible. I cleaned and cleaned my airbrush to no avail. Then I looked at my compressor. When I finally pulled the moisture trap off the line and retried, the pressure was back and I was able to paint normally. My question is, what happened to the moisture trap. It has a small screw allowing it to release moisture, but I never have seen any. I don't know what's happened to the trap, but when it's inline, it cuts the airflow down by 60-70% in appears. Can I fix this, or do I just pick up a new moisture trap? I don't know what could have clogged it and I cannot seem to take it apart to find out!! :) Thanks for the help.
When in doubt, replace the filter. My mantra when I rode 750 cc motorcycles. Norton Commando. There are other traps you can buy; my current one is labeled Badger.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Internal corrosion of the filter body, corrosion from the compressor being passed down the line, or if you have an oil free piston compressor that's seen better days possibly shed seal material being passed down the line...

Ah, there, now you've done it; you've mentioned the "magic word". I've lusted for a Norton Commando since I was 15 years old (damned long time ago now!). I came oh, so close, to buying one twice. The last one was a fully restored black and gold in a m/c shop in Waco about 5 or 6 years ago. Damn, it looked fine. Best I recall, they were asking $9500 for it then. Norton Commando? Gary

Thank you all for your responses! Off to the LHS to get a new filter :)
