SINNER907 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I have a paasche raptor using createx paint with a .02 needle tip and noble @ 20 psi paint reduced 5%. Issue is the paint only comes out when I am releasing the trigger not pulling it and it keeps spider webbing example pic posted. I have bought a brand new set (needle tip and nozzle to be sure and it still does it. I am trying to use it for very fine details. But I an at the end of my patience. Some one please help. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Beary Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Try thinning your paint 50% rather than 5%. I am not sure what you mean by the paint coming out only when you release the trigger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Spiderwebbing usually means the paint is too thick. Like Bob said above, try using more thinner. I do not see your picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SINNER907 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 The paint only comes out as I am letting the trigger go forward. I will add a photo. Thought I did but I guess it did not work sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Strip it down, clean the nozzle out and make sure when you put it back together to seat the needle nicely into the nozzle, a gentle tap with your finger should do the trick. Cellulose thinners usually clean up well. If that fails then get yourself a new nozzle. You should also try more thinner and a slightly lower air pressure if you cant get more distance from the airbrush to the substrate (which I wouldnt recommend). Such a small needle requires thin paint. Small needles are good for detail work because the needle requires that the paint be thin, and the thin paint means you can have much lower air pressure, thus the details can be made. Its actually got nothing to do with the tightness of the paint spray from such a small needle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do not see your picture. I would go one step further: I only experienced spiderwebbing when ingredients were chemically reacting, or curing very rapidly because of incompatibility. Therefore I would try another thinner. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curt B Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 To the OP: The first thing that came to my mind is that you wrote you are getting paint flow as soon as you depress the trigger (i.e., when you initiate air flow). If your airbrush is working correctly, if you depress the trigger and do NOT pull back on the trigger, you should get NO paint flow at all. It sounds to me like one of 2 things. Either your needle is stuck in a partially 'pulled back' state, letting paint flow when you are not moving the trigger to begin paint flow, OR, your nozzle may be damaged, allowing paint flow when it should not occur. I would first try an in-depth cleaning of the airbrush. If that doesn't fix your problem, I'd examine the nozzle, or the needle itself, for damage, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The 2 posts by OP in this thread are the only posts by OP and they haven’t been on the forum since 3/21 (their 2nd post). So much for ASAP…… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
