discussion Nooooooo!! Lost my nozzle!

[Guest]

I was cleaning my airbrush and when I unscrewed the front end, the nozzle came out and was lost (probably down the drain)
I can't afford a new airbrush but can't seem to find a replacement nozzle.

So, does anyone know where in the UK I can buy a 0.37 (or is it 0.38) nozzle for a Ghaaleri GHAD-68 Airbrush?

Update:- I ordered a new nozzle of ghaaleri themselves, I guess it's going to take a while to get here though, what a pain.
Mods - sorry for this I was in a panic, you can delete it.

Sympathies buddy. I haven't lost one but my first AB I knackered the thread on the nozzle, overtightened it. Totally stripped the threads. Good excuse for a good blaspheming session. For me it was a good excuse for a half decent AB. (Next upgrade is a compressor. But as it still works - it'll wait!!).

Did you take the P-trap out of the sink and see if it was still in there? Just a thought :smiling2:

Lesson 2. never dismantle airbrush at the sink unless the plug is in the hole.

I had to dismantle my P-trap and managed to strip the threads in the process. Cost me about £8 to replace it but I found the nozzle of my A/B so saved quite a bit there. THAT'S why I always put the plug in the sink before stripping my A/B!

Edit: Posts crossed there Ian!

Great result Dave, the nozzle would have been a lot more than 8 quid. I think Steve has just learned that lesson.

I don’t strip mine down anywhere near a sink!!!
It’s an old ice cream tub lid for me!!

I feel for you! I have stripped the thread before on one of my ‘lesser’ airbrushes. It is a real danger with such small nozzles.

This is one of the reasons I like Harder & Steinbeck, they not only have larger nozzles that are easy to handle and see but they are a push in type, no threads to worry about.

Been there , now strip my Neo in a lid. Dropped one once and spend hrs looking to no avail in the cave. You watch it fall and you know the end is nigh.

Ghaleri are pretty good with the mail...
And do not feel so bad, I once took a Badger apart and after cleaning up all I had left was the needle, it was bin collection day as well....

Yes Wibble it was a unforgettable day, each time I go into the cave I hope to see it, actually think it is under a chest of drawers. Too much of job to move it and every thing on top !
