The objective of having a dual action AB is to be able to control the Air Flow with the downward movement of the trigger. If this is any more clear!!!!! I'm not suggesting setting pressure at a hundred bloody pounds and using the trigger to regulate it. Still set at 15-20 and use the trigger to control air flow from there. Capieche!
Otherwise WTF is the point of having dual action.
Just sayin!
I should stay outa these discussions!! Period.

I plan on practicing on cardboard first to get the feel of the new beast, tweaking psi's and finding different spray patterns.
I often find myself with left over paint inside my airbrush cup after spraying. Rather than toss out the paint, I sometimes use it for practicing. When I know I'm going to paint, I try to collect pieces of plastic from food containers, etc. for practicing on.I don't want to start with paint, which will be Tamiya Acrylics when I do get on to the model. What have you guys used in the past?
Windex contains ammonia and some people on airbrush forums warn against using ammonia in an airbrush because it strips the chrome plating. However many modelers seem to use Windex to thin Tamiya acrylics and clean their airbrushes without problem. I read comments saying it's ok to use Windex as long as you don't let your airbrush soak in it. Some say quickly shooting Windex through your airbrush and rinsing it with water shouldn't harm the airbrush. I don't know what the truth of the matter is. But, I did use Windex to thin paint and to clean my Iwata Eclipse (w/side feed cup). There were times when I had to stop painting, and I let the airbrush sit with the Windex in the cup. Overtime, I noticed the finish inside the paint cup developed some discoloring (blotches in the finish).Another Question, I know of using Windex to quickly clean the Airbrush between colours and plan to use this method, however the new Windex available in OZ says "New Formula" and "Fresh New Fragrance", Has anybody used this new Windex and what were the results, I don't mind having a fresh smelling Airbrush but I'm a little worried about damaging the new tool with the New Windex!!
AIR FLOW G dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
