I have been in the process of moving since the beginning of summer. I thought I would be settled by now but I still cannot decide where to hang all the pictures. Of course my husband is no help. His answer is “Whatever you decide is fine with me.” I’ll probably struggle for a few more months before I get settled. Moving is so disruptive. That is what I have been doing these past two months.

I hope this summer is going well for you and you are making lots of money. I have heard a few stories from customers that I will relate to you in a later blog so you can see how some of our other customers are doing.

So you think you are keeping your airbrush gun in tip top condition. You keep it clean and after every show, you take it apart and do a thorough cleaning of every part. You cannot understand why it just doesn’t seem to be operating smoothly. Hmmm, what could be the problem?

A lube job is the answer. We sell a special lubricant for airbrush guns at TAT International. You can also use Vaseline or 3 in 1 oil. The important thing to remember is “A little dab will do ya.” After applying the lubricant to your needle, take your clean index finger and thumb and run them along the needle to remove the excess. On your trigger, all you need to do is apply a dot of lubricant to the end tip of the toggle that fits into the airbrush gun.

It is easy to forget to do this because it is not necessary to oil your needle and trigger every time you clean you airbrush gun. Although I am told if you do oil your needle every cleaning it prevents ink from sticking to the needle. I guess it is a good habit to develop.

I’ll be back next week. I promise.
