About 17-18 summers ago, I decided to airbrush a model in the garage using my 40 gallon compressor that I used to run a motorcycle tire changer, a motorcycle lift and various air tools that I used for side work.
I can’t remember what I was shooting, but I got everything ready to paint and hooked up an in-line regulator between the shop air and my trusty Aztec airbrush.
I pulled the trigger on the air brush and nothing happened, no paint no air. Thinking I had the regulator turned down too far, I gave the knob a twist and pulled the trigger again.
BOOM! The cap flew off the paint cup and hit the ceiling of the garage and clattered into the corner. The cartridge tip was clogged.
I used two Aztec airbrushes for a couple more years rotating one in for warranty repairs while I used the other.
