Troubleshooting your airbrush - Part 3!
There is a demon hiding in your airbrush, that you cannot detect without help. It quietly disrupts your art process, without revealing itself.
Unlike most other airbrush problems, It's not caused by dirt or dried paint.
Even factory-fresh airbrushes are not immune to it.
Symptom: skipping, failure to deliver paint, either partial or complete
