Hi to all
I'm ready to tear my hair out with my Iwata HP B plus....
I managed to do my paint pal and get it sent off (woohoo) but not without dealing with flow issues etc from my brush, so I did a complete soak and clean of the nozzle and brush, without resorting to a total tear down. put it back together and still wasn't happy. I bought a jewellers 60x magnifier which showed a bent tip on my needle. Ah ha I thought, that's ok, I bought spare needle and nozzle a few months back 'just in case'
I've just put the new needle and new nozzle in and im getting bubbles in the cup (water only) if I put the old nozzle in and keep the new needle it atomizes beautifully.
The new nozzle is a genuine iwata 2mm one but I've noticed that the original is almost flush with the aircap but the new one seems to protrude from the aircap a LOT further than the original, . could this be the problem ??
the photos below show the new nozzle, and the new nozzle and needle.
all thoughts gratefully received. . .
