tukta Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I have an iawata neo brush I have had no problem with it I clean it every time I use it and I use an ultrasound too. The problem I have it's not getting air thru nossle and comes back up thru the bowl I have tried everything the nozzle is clear the passage thru the bowl is clear I,m missing something so I,m asking if anyone has an idea I should try I know it's tough without it not in front of u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 There must be something in the nozzle. Use a pipe cleaner or on of those tiny interdental brushes you can get at the drug store. Also try soaking all the tip parts in Formula 409 or Windex and clean with the tiny brushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Wax the cap threads that my do the trick air leaves at the point of least resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Get some Createx Airbrush Restorer and soak the front end of your airbrush in it overnight. If there is any dried paint that was missed during cleaning the restorer will soften it up so you can get it out. Be careful poking anything hard inside the nozzle as it can leave scratches that can effect the way your brush sprays. Scratches will also leave places for paint to become embedded in that will make future cleaning all that much more difficult. Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybait Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 If that don't work, give the nozzle a very very close inspection. The nozzle where the needle seats is a very small brass part and easily mushrooms out and splits or cracks and it that is the case you need a new nozzle. You have to be very gentle on the neo when seating the needle to the nozzle and tightening the chuck nut. Use very light pressure on the needle to the nozzle when tightening the chuck nut and put the guard back on the back of the gun so the needle doesn't accidentally get jammed forward and ruin the nozzle. If you need a new nozzle, small doesn't mean cheap, print out your 40% discount coupon for Hobby Lobby so you don't wind up paying 24 bucks.

tukta Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I tried all that and used the ultra sound I tried everything everyone told me Iwill probably have to send it in dang it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'l Robzilla Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Also using teflon tape on the treads on the nose cap holder makes a better seal. Look at some cleaning of air brush videos on youtube. Like mentioned you might have damaged the cone and air can't get around the needle. be very careful inserting the needle twist the needle as you slide forward, gently till it stops then tighten lockdown screw. Remember cones and needles need replacement one every so often, the price you have to pay. its good to have spare parts on hand. Cause when ever i usually break something its when the stores are closed! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 When you want to reinstall the tiny nozzle, try putting the needle in first, loose, and push it out the front enough to slip the needle onto. That way the nozzle's threads will line up as you slowly push it back into the nozzle cap. Do everything slowly. Those tiny parts are fragile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
