I have an Iwata hp-c plus, and the air valve seems to be sticking, especially at pressures around 20psi. The air keeps coming out, even if I am not pressing the trigger down. Will airbrush lube like Iwata-Medea Super Lube do the trick, or is this a more serious problem?

Hopefully you have the parts diagram.... the air valve you can disassemble, and clean up... and yes their super lube is what you use. It's "suppose" to be formulated not to damage the rubber seals.

(I use Badger lube on mine without problems, mainly because it what I have....LOL)
