Hi Gang,
I have a few questions about my Iwata Eclipse gravity-fed airbrush:
1) while painting I've noticed that I cannot gradually pull back the needle and get paint flowing from zero to full flow. To get any sort of partial flow I have to open it up all the way and gradually decrease the paint flow to get to the amount I need. When shooting plain water the flow seems to sputter as I gradually pull the needle back. Does this sound like a problem with my AB to you guys?
2) While flushing out my AB with water, I noticed that if I only shoot air then little bubbles will appear in the bottom of the paint cup. From what I understand about airbrushes, if the needle is closed there should be no air escaping back into the cup should there? Could this be causing (or related) to my problem above?
Thanks in advance!
Jeff
