discussion Compressor pressure problems

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have recently purchased a compressor and airbrush set off of the Internet. It was only a cheap set as I've only just started out modelling (a non branded compressor + gravity fed airbrush).

The problem is the compressor will only allow me to adjust the working pressure between 0 - 24psi, although the instructions suggest it should allow regulation between 0 - 43psi.

I have returned the compressor to the supplier who checked it and said it was working fine so I had it back assuming hat I was doing something wrong.

As I'm new to airbrushing I'm not really sure what pressure I will realistically require. I guess the big question is will this compressor be sufficient or should I look to changing it for a more powerful model?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

15-20psi should be fine, you shouldn't need to go above that.

That's the second time I've said that

mine has never been set at more than about 15psi, you will be just fine
