Broken Airbrush PLEASE HELP :-(
Right last night while spraying some parts for my SLR i somehow managed to stab myself big time in the finger with my airbrush with the tip off, while cleaning it not only did it hurt like hell (still VERY SORE now) but after noticed that the fluid nozzle had broken see pics below.

Re: Broken Airbrush PLEASE HELP :-(
Can't really help you diagnose it from the pics- unfortunately the important parts to see are out of focus. It's possible you damaged just the nozzle, and if so it can be replaced (would probably cost about 1/4 the price of a new airbrush). It's also possible the damage is more extensive than that, in which case it's time for a new airbrush.
Any chance of better pics?

Re: Broken Airbrush PLEASE HELP :-(
I got this problem four weeks before.
The thread of the noozle broken off. I contacted the dealer and he sends me a new noozle. It was a bit tricky to get the broken off thread out of the gun, I used tools from the dentist  . I screw in the new noozle and it works perfectly.

Re: Broken Airbrush PLEASE HELP :-(
I was thinking a few ways of fixing this~
You could find a small screw that fits inside the broken part, then screw it in and using pliers pull on the screw and unscrew it slowly. Another way would be to find a metel rod the same diameter as the ab's needle, brass or copper might work best as they are softer metals, shape the end into a needle point and insert the rod as you would the AB's own needle. then pushing firmly turn the rod clockwise.

Re: Broken Airbrush PLEASE HELP :-(
So basically nozzle broke off from the airbrush, leaving its male threaded portion left in the airbrush? Yeah, that will be kinda tricky to remove. But it can be done with the right tool. I'm thinking a small screw extractor or a small T handle reamer may do the trick. (Superglue won't do anything for you. There's no way it is strong enough to grip the broken section- hopefully it didn't get into the threads, in which case you've made your work harder.)
These are reamers- you just insert the tip and twist (to the left). Hopefully it would grip the broken section and twist it out.  These are screw extractors. If you find one small enough to fit, you just screw it in (also left handed) to the broken off part. It will grip, and you continue turning it out.  Hope this helps....
