And in those instances when you do stop the air, don't have it pointing at the work when starting the air back up.

All these years and I could not figure it out, thanks for the great advice!

Oh my gosh again, you are a genius. Actually, that's probably the exact technique that you're supposed to do and is probably the whole point of the dual action is so that you can hold it down and have constant air going and us amateurs always just let go of the button every time. At least I have every single time and then when I try to do little things like that it spurts I never thought just hold airbrush button that air button down duh. That's so smart and can't believe a nurse out of that before

60 seconds in and you already blew my mind with such a simple little thing I was doing while testing some primer in my airbrush for the first time. Kept spitting primer and figured I was doing something wrong, but had no idea what. Thank you!

[PleasureRyland]

I’m so grateful for your in depth airbrush videos🙏 Thank you!

[markwakeley]

Very good instructions. I've only been painting a little over a year and it's good to be reminded of the basics until I do them automatically. Thanks

[alvinbennett]

Finally, this issue has plagued me for a long time. Thanks

[claudearmour]

Thank you for the video. I'm new to airbrushing I think that's exactly what I was doing starting with some primer

[MoMarinePrepper]

Excellent ! Thank you SO much, am just starting out and was wondering what I was doing wrong. Thx again!

I have almost the opposite problem, but only with my Eclipse.
I get a dot of paint spray out when I shut off the air!
At first, I thought I had spotted a nick in the needle tip where the paint might collect. And was having trouble with the nozzle getting stuck in the air cap. So I replaced both the nozzle and the air cap, but the problem remains.
On closer inspection, that nick on the first needle was just a tiny piece of paint that I had not managed to clean off. So, I'm still none the wiser.

thanks for all your videos! Could you make a video because, even with a new airbrush, when I press the button without pulling back the lever, water or sometimes oil comes out? I thought it was the old airbrush, so I bought a new Micron and also a very good compressor, but maybe I'm wrong about the compressor's bar pressure?

Hey Mark. Is there any chance of you reviewing the CM CP? i have a Micron Takumi and a CM B but the CM CP has always been my dream brush I've just never picked one up. Would be great to see you review one

[JohnVanderbeck]

But shouldn't this just automatically happen with a single action brush? I use the trigger style because these dual action ones like shown really hurt my old hand. But with the single action trigger I have, the first bits of the trigger pull put on the air, then from there progressively farther pulls pull the needle back. So it would seem to me like it is in fact impossible for me to do anything other than what it said in the video. The air will always be on before the needle is pulled back and the needle will always be forward before the air cuts off.

Yet I have this problem. Maybe I need to be slower about my actions, as well as just never letting the air stop and start which I'm definitely guilty of.

I was thought if you let off the air. It blows up.

Is it bad to mix illustration, white with a illustration, cobalt blue. Or a cerulean blue to get a lighter blue when I’m doing irises. Or should I just experiment with all the illustration colors and get funky other colors!!!🎣🎣🎣
