Airbrush demise!
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, August 25, 2005 9:23 PM
Just to update you all on my previous post regarding the damage I thought I had done to my Badger200 model recently. Well I must have been very ham fisted and lucky last time as I just went to remove the head in order to seal with some wax and the head just snapped clean off leaving the threaded portion retained in the bodyGrumpy [|(]Grumpy [|(]! For good measure I then dropped (accidentally honest) the body onto a hard concrete surface and deformed the front face so even if I could extract the threaded stub and obtain a new head I will never get a good seal. I have salvaged all of the tip, needle, air valve, handle etc and consigned the rest to the bin Boohoo [BH]Boohoo [BH]
Now I have no reason not to use my new 150 (and learn quick) but what I don't know is whether my 200 was so upset about my adultery with another brush that she decided to leave or whether this is just the push I needed and self sacrifice on the 200's part to get me on and using the double action 150 LOLLaugh [(-D]Laugh [(-D]

Sorry to hear about the demise of your 200 Simon, but I don't think jealousy was the problem. The 200 series is generally pretty forgiving and understanding. When I got my first Omni my 200 was a little jealous but I promised I'd still use it and it was happy. Since then, and two more airbrushes, it seems as long as I blow a little paint or Future through the 200 from time to time it stays happy.

Same here Simon... my Badger 175 was fine when I started using the 155, and the 155 didn't mind me picking back up the 175 once in awhile for broad acrylic coverage. I expected trouble when the Iwata came into the picture, but they've all generally been understanding about the whole deal. Wink [;)]
