Badger Airbrush

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 12, 2005 12:53 PM

I have a new badger airbrush 200-20, and it doens't seem to work properly, I am a newbie airbrusher. The problem is air blowing into the paint cup and not paint coming out the tip. Disapprove [V]

I have a compressor and have the air set at about 25 psi, that pressure seemed to work witht two other airbrushers that I have, so I don't know if this is an internal problem with the air brush or just what. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

-Thanks,
Stairman

This may sound simple but do you have the tip protecting cap on it?
When air goes into the cup it is because something is stopping air from coming out of the nozzle, just like when you backflush an airbrush to clean it.

I don't think that it came with a tip protecting cap, and I think that it has always been like that. Air comes out of the tip as well as into the cup, so i disassembled it and there seems to be nothing bloking it up

Stairman,

That's odd.
