Ok first off,
I using a iwata eclipse on a 8 gal shop compressor.
The AB keeps getting clogged it seems, however when I flush it clear and clean nozzle it sprays water perfectly fine and heavy, then put the paint back in cup and same thing.
I was just using this same paint earlier in the day with no problems ?
It's air brush paint with drop or two of AB flow improver to lubricate. The last AB I had, a cheap knock off eclipse, when this happend, it never recovered even after I replaced noz/needle, trigger and rubber seals.
Why does it do this ? What can I do ? even if I thin the paint so thin that tension is lost, it still clogs it.
I haven't tried using a different color which I might do next and find out if it's just something that got in my pants.
any advice, insight, something I might not be thinking of, all would be helpful. I've been airbrushing for a couple years now so this one has left me a bit puzzle last time it was with a $25 airbrush this time I don't want to just have to junk my eclipse, although if that happened, I might start using my new HP C Plus that I got last holiday season.
