Hi All,

Having finally gotten my new airbrush (Iwata HP-C Plus), I though tI would test by spraying some water through.

What I got when I pressed the trigger was a fine spray of water, there was no change when i pulled it back. I would expect in this situation to have clean air coming out of the nozzle until I pull back the trigger.

Any advice ?

It’s common practice to pull the needle back when shipping an Airbrush. Reset the needle and see whether this fixes the problem.

Glad to hear that helped. Dave, don't forget to lube the airbrush when you're done.
