I've cleaned, re-cleaned, used Teflon tape behind the nozzle cap and am still getting a stream of bubbles at the bottom of the cup. Where the heck e-can this blockage or air leak be coming from?
****************since no one else has chimed in. I'm pretty sure those have an oring on the nozzle itself. Oringed nozzles SUCK. See if it's on their crooked or not on there at all. Most airbrushers use beeswax or softwax to seal threads where the nozzle and caps are concerned.
I tried a brand new nozzle and needle to no avail.....Even let the everything soak in Windex and alcohol for a couple of hours.
Eclipse HP CS is on the way.
I would like to salvage this G233 though.
if they are the ones with the metal twisted handle then pop them in your tool box and buy a pack of interdental brushes , so much gentler on the poor airbrush. I only ever use long bristle hairy brushes for cleaning inside the nozzle. so much safer.Another question: The cleaning brushes that came with this kit are extremely abrasive. I can't see how the most narrow one won't damage the passage behind the nozzle.

Get yourself some chapstick... works the sameMy NEOs have orings on nozzles. So I can use beeswax to seal the thing? Do you have an example of what to buy and where ? The nozzle is really really small so it won't be easy to apply it correctly.
That works well for beeswax, but generally I just use chapstick and a cocktail stick. Put a little chapstick on the stick and wipe it into the threads. Put on the cap/nozzle to finger tightThere are many methods, but this is one. You can use a lighter instead of a soldering iron as long as you are careful not to heat the metal too much.
