Hi,
I would like to ask for a piece of advice on an issue I'm encountering with my Paasche Talon TG 2L.
I got it with a 0.38mm needle and it works fine. I wanted to have a finer needle and I bought a 0.2mm needle. I got the 0.2mm tip too. I also got the aircap for it but Paasche makes only one for 0.25mm and 0.2mm. It seems the combo is not working for me as I barely managed to pull out paint and after cleaning I tried with water because I use Vallejo model color and I thought I screwed up the thinning. It doesn't even spray water. I managed only once to get the water out. I put back the 0.38mm and it works just fine.
I'm quite new to airbrushing and as I understand it, the tip should be a bit longer then the aircup to get the pulling force. When I look at the parts the tip and aircap seem to be flush. I'm wondering if this is the problem and I thought I could grind the aircap a bit to make it shorter. I don't know if this is a good idea. Someone else tried this? Should I try something else? I screwed the aircap quite hard and I don't think there is much more space before I tear apart the O-ring...
