Ok everyone!!
A few months ago i got my very first air brush, it's a paasche, i had never used it until tonight. I had no idea what i was doing. But i had a problem, at times the flow was great, and even, and at times it spat out big droplets, leaving horrible dark patches on my flowers. I will fix them by dipping them most likely, but im just wondering what went wrong here.
I was thinking it could be one of the following.
bad airbrush, no control for airflow
bad compressor, no control for airflow
but im not sure, here is a picture of what happened.

Hey Nati,

It sounds like the hose is getting condensation in it causing the colors to spat.Does you brush have dual control or not?? You may want to read the instructions and see if there is a troubleshooting section.I have a Airmaster but have never had anything like that happen!!Sorry!!

Try turning up the pressure a little. I think it is coming out too slow and collecting a drip at the tip of the nozzle.
