Airbrush has thrown a wobbly!!
I was as happy as a pig in poo yesterday having finished the bulk of the spraying jobs on my Beetle, then disaster struck.
During the clean of the AB the nozzle for the 0.3 needle sheered off inside the AB when I was reassembling it. It's not as if was over tightening it, it wasn't even screwed fully in, nor was it cross threaded!! I had spent ages giving it a good clean too.
Went on YT to check how to resolve the issue, OK it's a small bit and the thread is even smaller but I figured I couldn't be the only person it happens to.
Sure enough, there was a few items on how to remove the offending thread from the now multi pieced AB nozzle. Managed to remove the threaded portion that had been stuck but in the process I must have knackered the thread on the AB. So now!! No airbrush.
Really annoyed me, however, as SWMBO stated, it didn't cost me anything and now I can start looking for another. (May even pay for one this time).
Didn't need it to be honest. Have a massive amount of building work in progress atm so my work space is clogged up with detritus from all that. Old bathroom stuff, new bathroom stuff and where does it all go? My man cave!!! There is no equality in this house!! None!!
Back to being miserable!!
