Ok OK I am officially stupid

I have been airbrushing for 5 years, using a Badger single action.  I have been struggling, literally using cans of compressed air.  I started a 1:35 Hornisse today and had about a dozen sprues worth of big parts that had to be painted the same mix of 50:50 desert yellow and white.  I started with a new can and it kept clogging ( I thought) and I kept taking the brush apart to clean.  Five times I cleaned the stupid thing and every time, splotches of paint, no coverage.  So, last night I sat and hand painted everything, 1 to 2 coats.  But, expensive model, gift from my son, I want it lookin good.  There were conspicuous brush strokes and granted it is a tank, but, I wanted it looking great.  So, I remembered posts in the past and I tried something.  I put the can of propellant in warm water.  Wallah, when I sprayed the first time, it about took my hand off with chilled cold spray.  I then figured it out, waited a minute, and unbelievable, fine spray, continuos spray for 5-10 minutes.  I did the entire series of sprues with a gorgeous even coat of paint.  Wow, I made a discovery that you all told me about time and time again.  I never, in one sitting, used up an entire bottle of mixed paint, today I did and now I am ready to assemble.  Wow, I was stupid, I now see the light, I mean the warm water bath!!!!!
