Stupid Question: problems with two moisture traps?

Haa! That's it, I'm going to try it.

I can't see any downside, and as a bonus, I believe you'll actually be able to airbrush underwater.

Kidding! Sorry, couldn't resist!

I spray between 10-15 psi, and clean at full bore. My little compressor only pumps out 40 psi tops. You probably wouldn't want to clean at any more than 50 psi.

Awesome, good to know. I gotta say, I'm a little curious about how much psi I've been using...I haven't a clue. I've just been using the...what's that thing called...bleeder valve like the instructions say. I'm interested in seeing the different effects that raising and lowering the pressure will yield. It's a small compressor though, so I might not notice a difference...

What do you guys use for typical use? (psi, I mean)

I agree with the above. Many professional rigs use two traps. One coming out of the compressor and one down line near the brush.

I have a standard Reg/Trap coming out of the compressor and still had condensation in the line screw up my day! so I added an inline one closer to the Brush with no problems yet. I say the more the merrier, especially closer to the airbrush!

It shouldn't be a problem. I have two on my setup but I have a 140 psi compressor to work with to.

The only stupid question is "Are we there yet?" I mean, look out the windows kids! Does it look like we're there?

The two moisture traps will cancel each other out and actually create moisture.

No, I'm KIDDING, I'm a kidder!

You will probably not notice any difference, there may be a very slight drop in air pressure, but not enough to measure.

Remember the old saying:

"You can never be too thin, too rich, or have dry enough air."
