dazzjazz Thanks. Will look into all those things. I did notice that the last time I reattached the nozzle, it was not easy to put back in for reasons I couldn't figure out.

My Badger tends to get a seat leak at the nozzle. It has a teflon seal but none the less I wax the threads. When that seal leaks the brush produces a pulsating spattery pattern. Course each brush is different but nozzle leaks are common. Also air cap leaks ( my Badger require the air cap be on to spray, not all brushes do), I wax those threads as well. All sealed up the pattern is beautiful, nice controlable, very small droplets etc.
Also fairly common is crud in the paint,either not fully mixed or a little dried paint from a dropper top getting in the mix. That really raises some hell driven negative spirits with the production process lol !!
Spitting airbrush:
Air leak at the nozzle seat. ( sometime just a little bees wax or chap stick on the mating parts will seal it up,generally a good idea anyway)
Dirty.
Paint too thick needs thinning.
Air pressure too low for the viscosity of the paint.
Paint not mixed well enough causing partial clogs.
My Sparmax Max-3 Airbrush is spitting often. As far as I can tell, it's completely clean inside. I did buy some Iwata brushes recently that shed their bristles very quickly (rubbish and counter productive). I guess it's possible there's some in there but I doubt it given the cleaning I've done.
perhaps I need to replace the rear seal? Is that even possible?
