• .66mm Fan Aircap (TAF-3 Aircap, TN-3 Needle and TT-3 tip) Will give a 2-1/2 to 3 inch flat pattern for covering larger areas
Working Pressures:
• Operating pressures 15-55 PSI; Maximum pressure 85 PSI. Fan aircap needs 20 PSI or more.
• 20-30 PSI is best for detail spraying w/ properly thinned paint
• Use the higher pressures for thicker material where fine detail is not critical or thin the paint to allow lower pressures.
Equipment Set-up:
The Airbrush is held in the same manner as a pen, with the index finger comfortably over the finger button.
1. Attach air hose to air supply and to airbrush. If using a regulator set pressure between 15 -55 PSI.
Airbrush Operation:
1. Press down on Finger Button to release air and pull back on button to control quantity of color.
2. To spray a fine line without heavy ends, start moving the airbrush without release of color. Then start the color at the
beginning of line and stop the color at the end, but continue the motion of the airbrush after the color has stopped.
3. Practice this movement until you can spray a fine line or a broad pattern without heavy build up at the beginning or
end of your strokes.
4. Speed of movement controls density of color and fading effects at beginning and end of strokes.
5. For detail, hold the airbrush very close to the surface push down for air and pull back very slowly on the Finger
Button to release a small amount of paint.
6. For background work and broad effects, hold the airbrush away from the work surface and pull back on Finger Button
to release required amount of color.
7. For Stippling remove the aircap, push down on the trigger and pump the trigger forward and back. Adjust the air
pressure between 15 and 50 PSI for desired stipple effect.
