Yesterday I was laying down some paint on my Dragon Ostwind when it seemed as if the pressure has suddenly reduced. Even 40 psi felt just half that it should have been.


Typically I tried to ignore it & by more luck than judgment finished the session without problems.


But today I investigated & after removing the air valve body I found a tiny piece of polythene partially blocking the air flow.


Once removed the airbrush is blowing again as it should :)


I have absolutely no idea where this foreign matter came from! But sometimes it's worth looking at the less obvious areas.... said the guy who'd previously swapped around his air hoses, quick-release valves etc before thinking of the eventual solution ;)
