I'm new to airbrushing and am currently using a badger 105 and a cheapo harborfreight Ab compressor. I live down in Houston TX where the heat and humidity are comparable to a sauna. While airbrushing i've noticed several times that I get moisture through the compressor mounted filter trap.
My thoughts on stopping the moisture was to purchase another filter regulator that I can mount at the end of a 10foot line close to my work station. I would open the compressor mounted filter 100% and use the now local filter as my regulator. I also picked up some in line filters for at the brush itself. I'm assuming this should help eliminate the moisture problem but I'm concerned i'm restricting my air to much.
My other option I've recently thought of is to use my 30gal 2 stage shop compressor.
I would have to purchase a filter for it and again from what i gather the way to mount it is at the end of the line not at the tank.
obviously this would be louder when it kicks on but using such small amounts of air it wouldn't kick on often.
What are your opinions.
