Nozzel jam
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, June 5, 2005 4:23 PM
A peice on my nozzel is stuck in the nozzel, but I don't really know why. Is there any way I can save the nozzel, or just buy a new one.

Your problem description is overly vague. please provide some specific details, which would make it a lot easier to offer informed suggestions.What type of airbrush are you using? Exactly what seemes to be stuck in the nozzle? etc.

Okay. I have a aztec a370, I think that is what it is. The part the seems to be stuck in the nozzel is a white part the houses the spring and needel. I've tried getting it out with a wrench, but that started to bend the plastic. Please help.

dude! get some lacquer thinner like I've been telling you to for the past 16000 years!(Big Smile [:D])
dip it in lacquer thinner and wait for the paint to come off and then it pops off easily!
lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner
lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner
lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner lacquer thinner


lacquer thinner is you friend (but not you lungs' or brain's friend).... lacquer thinner is good.....
it has the power to allow you to achieve many great things....

I have the same AB as yours and I know what I'm talking about

If the above method doesn't work, buy a new one, ALWAYS clean your airbrush immediately after use and this type of prolems rarely happens

well, if it bent the housing, there is a chance that the needle is screwed up to. if it is, by a new one.
always clean AB after use like grandadjohn said up there!

Follow jinithith2's advise. If its acrylic paint, you can soak it in windex or any ammonia based window cleaner - overnight if need be.
