Aztec Airbrush O-ring?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, July 28, 2006 5:49 PM

I've got this o-ring that connects the body of the airbrush to the air hose and it broke. Now the airbrush leaks air. I have looked all over but cannot seem to find any, if anyone has any suggestions or help, that would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the link, I can't figure out how to post pics directly on the post w/o having to open them up.

You could try your local hardware store to get an O ring or you could get some Teflon tape and wrap the threads with it, should stop the air leak.  Tape is usually found in the Plumbing section.

Yeah I was ready to try the hardware stores around town if anyone else didn't have any other suggestions. Thanks for the help, I did not think to try tape

Sorry to  hear that ,I guess I should have posted and asked anyone if they would want an Aztek that I had But in a bit of rage I threw it out!
    This would be a good time to invest in a new (good) AB

I lost the O-ring from mine as well and have replaced it with one from the hardware store cant remember the size but I just took the airbrush with me and bought a dozen.

I can't believe that someone asking a simple question has to put up with people saying they should invest in a new decent AB, the Aztek vs the rest argument has its place but give it a rest in this sort of post, its not big and its not clever.

I love my aztek and I love my new iwata I just use them for different jobs and as far as learning the tecniques the Aztek did a brilliant job for me.
