  • trick to using createx iridescents with a badger airbrush?

    Learning the airbrush, and I finally got control down yesterday. I have no problem with opaque or transparent, but as soon as I put a pearl or iridescent in it starts spitting, and skipping, like I am losing air or it is clogged, but it isn't. I have turned to pressure up, turned it down, thinned the paint over and over again, used the large needle. Any help here? Is the irridensence in the paint too thick? I have thinned it with airbrush medium down to water them. Even tried the water.

    That's really weird then.. the createx airbrush paint line is supposedly used for painting t shirts and stuff with a normal airbrush. What is the point if you have to use a spray gun.. I'll have to keep fussing then.. that just does not make sense to me.
    See...?

    That is the regular sized tip, I even tried the bigger one. When I looked at the painting, the "glittery substance" seem chunked together, so I put thinner in it, mixed it real well and let it sit over night..I might try again later....so confused...



    "Createx Airbrush Colors work best out of the bottle with a 0.5mm tip-sized airbrush operated @ 40 – 50 PSI" 0.5 mm is the middle sized "normal" tip. More fussing, I guess"
