Re: Excellent Forum

They are so the airhose can leap energetically at my merest thought.

Actually, I don't use the springs much. Having the airhose bouncing its way around my workbench is rather nonproductive, and it gets tedious quickly. So I keep them boxed up with the other useless bits that came with my airbrush, like the bottle feed siphon.

Lexus220, your airhose and airbrush should work just fine without a set of springs. It's probably best this way.

100% you need a water trap. Whether it is an in-line version or a larger one (sometimes part of the regulator valve) does not really matter all that much.

Re: Excellent Forum

well the compressor has already one but i think i would buy one so it helps in the grip for airbrushing and maybe a larger air hose

what kind of air hose would be better?

Re: Excellent Forum

I use both. The inline trap supplements the regulator trap, but I don't think it works well enough to replace the regulator trap. With a regulator trap you may not need an inline also, but they're cheap and easy to install.

The most important thing about the airhose is that it fits onto your airbrush. Not all hoses will fit Iwata airbrushes, but adapters can be used to make them fit.

Re: Excellent Forum

one of my problem is i think i got it wrong buying the hi-line there is an eclipse which can change its nozzle from 0.35 to 0.5.
mines can't, maybe later i might need a cheaper airbrush for the car body painting
