Mr. AR, you will find that as you get better at shutting the paint off before the air and your flow is good you will get less and less tip dry, but less is still some! Thanks for watching.

Davefr, I am glad you liked the video. Just remember...air always goes off last. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.

Tom, i am glad things are getting better for you. Check out my video on Getting Paint to Flow if you get a chance. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.

@@TheAirbrushGarage I’m a straight to the point guy, and you explained what I needed with clarity and without going off on a tangent. So that’s how you got me lol 👍🏻

HI Rob, I am glad the video helped. I sent you another video on your first comment before I saw this comment. Lol, give it a look it may provide some additional help as well. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.

When that would happen to me I would just keep adding a drop or two of reducer until I see improvement. Also clean the tip of the needle and the nozzle with a small paint brush dipped in reducer when you do get tip dry. It works better than using your fingers. Hope this helps, and don't give up.

Thanks for the advice!

DLM, thanks for sharing. That is great advice for other viewers. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

Never tried that one, but cool tip. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

Yes...cool tip. Thanks

Gregory, controlling tip dry really comes down to trigger control. Make sure you are shutting the paint off first and then the air. I hope this helps.

Thank you for watching my video, I'm happy you found it helpful. Bumps... Hmm, first, make sure you are not getting any moisture coming through your brush, second, start with a 1 to 1 mix, make sure you are using the reducer recommended for the paint you are using. Also, make sure you are shutting off the paint before you shut of the air. If you don't, paint will be on your needle and when you depress the air again the paint will get blown on to your surface in a splatter pattern, As far as your humidity...I personally like when the air is dry, I get a lot less tip dry. I have more trouble in high humidity, I really have to play with the reducer when it's hot and humid. I don't know what type of paint you are using, but I like Createx. The bargain paint at the craft stores are not worth it. Hope this helps. Reach out to me anytime.

@@TheAirbrushGarage thank you. Starting to get the hang of createx paints.

Tip dry is just something we deal with but if it is to frequent I thin the paint. I don't have any experience airbrushing with latex but I assume the reducer is water. I am not a big fan of using dish soap with any paint. But....experiment and let me know. I would be interested in the results. Appreciate you watching.

@@TheAirbrushGarage Hello my friend. I tried the soap additive in my latex paint and it seemed to smoothen out the flow somewhat. As a watercolourist I've used this trick to reduce the surface tension of the paint allowing it to flow easier from the brush to the substrate. The addition is only a very little bit. Eg. To a 100 ml paint solution the quantity of soap would be a brush-full of either liquid dish-soap or from bar-soap from the tip of a tiny detail brush. Seems insignificant, but enough to change the s/tension just enough. Anyways, just following up. If you experiment with it I would ask you to let me know if you find a difference. I know we all have our customary and comfortable techniques but sometimes something new can help overcome some nuisances. Have a great day! If you're interested I've included the link to a video I made a while ago. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJiceZmU28vIoIk.html

Alden, I'm sorry, I thought I replied to this when you posted it but now I don't see it. If you are using Illustration colors I have since found it better to use just water. I found this out after taking a trip to Dru Blairs school of Realism. That paint was formulated for his school so he knows it better than anyone. Also, on the wicked colors I use 4011. Createx stopped making the 4012 due to the Acetone in it. You can still get it because there is still a supply of it left but Createx told me once its gone it's gone and the 4011 works just as well. Good luck, don't give up you will get it.

Holy shit I thought I was the only one the cretex white sucks so bad I literally can’t spray like you 2 strokes and it’s all tip dry ! I literally have to reduce it 70-30 with reducers

Sorry Damen for the delayed response. It sounds like you are shutting off the air before you are pushing the trigger all the way forward to shut off the paint therefore there is paint on the end of your needle and when you press the air down it is blowing the paint on to your project. Now with that said that exact description usually causes tip dry which can cause clogging an also spattering as well. Get a needle reamer amzn.to/3VAPkrX clean your nozzle, this will get any dried paint out of there. Now another trick I use is some reducer in a cup and a small paintbrush. Brush the tip of the needle and nozzle with the reducer and dry it with a paper towel (so you don't blow reducer onto your project) I try this first. If that doesn't work then the reamer. Hope this helps and sorry again for the delayed response had a lot of company for the holiday. thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
