A warm hi to all. I have two questions about the packing screw which hopefully can be addressed.
1. Is it normal on a brand new H&S Evolution Silverline the packing screw to be problematic? I am asking because on my copy (just bought) even though the screw is completely tight the needle passes through it with minimal resistance. I have close to zero experience with airbrushes but still, the resistance is barely noticeable and i also found some light traces of paint on the trigger and air valve parts behind it. I checked the tightness of the packing screw with the respective screwdriver from H&S and indeed is maxed out. Can there be a problem with the PTFE seal?
2. Under what circumstances a perfectly set-up (resistance wise) packing screw, so adequately tight to do its job, the next day can feel completely loose? It has happened on various occasions and with various airbrushes so far. I spend some time to set it up just right and the next day is either too loose or (not so often) way too tight.
Thank you in advance.
