Evening all,
I have only owned an airbrush for a couple of months and thus far have used Tamiya acrylics exclusively. After each use of the airbrush I have put an amount of Tamiya thinners through to clean it and have had no trouble at all.
Yesterday I tried using Humbrol acrylic and the airbrush worked well enough for a few minutes and then the flow of paint became poor then stopped.
Today I took the airbrush to my local model shop, where the owner stripped it down and inspected it. He showed me the jet and said it was clogged. After cleaning and reassembly he tested it and it worked once more.
Back home I did some spraying using Tamiya acrylic with the usual good results and, later, used Humbrol acrylic. Once more the brush clogged up and stopped working completely.
So to the question - Are Humbrol acrylics not designed to be airbrushed?
