Here are some simple solutions for common problems.
Q: My airbrush is spitting large, irregular makeup particles when I try to spray out product. How do I fix this problem?
A: Before anything, remove your needle to make sure that it’s not hooked. If your needle looks fine, then remove the needle cap and clean any residue on it using an alcohol-saturated cotton swab. If the needle cap is already clean from residue, then reassemble the gun tightly and try spraying alcohol (at your compressor’s highest air pressure) onto a tissue until it runs clear.
Q: No makeup is flowing through my airbrush. How can I clear it up and get the product moving again?
A: Your gun is probably clogged. This occurs when paint is left overnight in the cup, or the makeup consistency is too thick. Severe clogging is caused when product has built up a residue wall inside the nozzle. To unclog the nozzle, you’ll need to do a more intensive cleaning. We recommend using an airbrush cleaning kit, as well as a fine safety pin or sewing needle and 91% or higher Isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING THE SP-35 AIRBRUSH GUN
STEP 1. Unscrew the tail cap and set it aside. Next, loosen the needle stop screw, carefully pull the needle out halfway, and tighten the needle stop screw to keep the trigger button in place.
STEP 2. Next, unscrew the needle cap and nozzle cap. If you find it difficult at first to twist these caps off by hand, try wrapping a rubber band around them to add grip. They should twist off with ease.
STEP 3. Enclosed with each airbrush package is a mini nozzle wrench, designed to remove the nozzle. With the back end of the airbrush facing you, loosen the nozzle by turning the mini nozzle wrench clockwise. Once loosened, twist the nozzle completely off with your fingertips. Be careful not to strip the metal around the nozzle with the wrench. Now you’re ready to unclog your nozzle.
STEP 4. Once the nozzle is removed from the airbrush, use a fine safety pin or sewing needle to remove excess residue from the nozzle. Start by dipping the safety pin or sewing needle into rubbing alcohol. Next, gently insert it into the back end of the nozzle and work on scraping out the unwanted residue. Wipe off the safety pin or sewing needle with a paper towel and continue this process until the nozzle is clean.
STEP 5. After the nozzle cleaning, look at the front of your airbrush and see if the opening (where the nozzle goes) is filled with residue. To clean, use a synthetic brush from the airbrush cleaning kit. You can also use a safety pin or sewing needle with alcohol. Continue this process until the opening is clean.
STEP 6. To assemble, start by screwing the nozzle back onto the airbrush. Use the mini wrench to tighten the nozzle, taking care not to over tighten it.
STEP 7. Next, screw on the nozzle cap and needle cap. These caps should go on easily by hand, but they need to be tightened securely.
STEP 8. Proceed by screwing on the needle stop screw with two twists, careful not to close it all the way. Now gently insert the needle until you feel it stop. Now tighten the needle stop screw all the way, and screw on the back handle.
