Hi, I topcoated a few baits with Bob Smith 2 part epoxy recently. For some reason one of them got a little run in the middle of the bait. How would you go about fixing that? Do I sand it down and reapply topcoat? Have any of you tried to fix a run before?

Thanks for all the help! Last night was much better. The transparent paint shot much better for me at 25psi, and the pearl and opaque I definitely had to thin more! Once I got that down I used the nylon to strain before I put it in the cup and that seemed to help also. Between colors I sprayed water until the paint was gone, then use the airbrush cleaner I have to backflush and clean.

Hi, I got an Iwata Revolution HP/CR a month ago and have been playing with it since. I have a 3gal compressor and bought createx opaque/transparent/and pearlized paints. So far things have been ok, but I seem to be getting uneven spray from it. I have typically been shooting at 10-15 psi (which as I read may be low), and have tried reducing the paints to 1:1 or 2:1 paint to reducer. I have reduced with water, wicked reducer, and/or pledge floor care shine. Between colors I run water through the gun then some airbrush cleaner until clear. I have dismantled the gun and soaked nozzle, nozzle cap in acetone. Doing that gives me a minute or two of good paint then flow stops and I have to pull back the trigger which causes a "burst" of paint to come out. Shooting in my basement, so 50-60 deg temps. What am I doing wrong? How should I be reducing these paints? Where and how often do I need to use the super lube? I wouldn't mind if when this happens to just dip a q-tip in cleaner and rub the needle tip and nozzle, but that does not always clear the issue. I am starting to get frustrated by this, hopefully you can help.

Looks nice. I can airbrush or brush that on, then just hang?

i don't. Are you talking about this? http://www.csipaint.com/products/uv-fishing-lure-paint/uv-blast-clear-seal-coat.php -Nate

Hey Mike, I just got into airbrushing and have had problems with devcon and hanging. If you have a motor I would love to have one. Please PM me if you can help. -Nate
