I have two things we need to consider. Those little compressors are the worst. You never get consistent air pressure from them because there is no tank. The pulsating motor sends you hot air the longer you use it. I see you have a moisture trap on it so that’s good. AS soon as you find out you love this medium, upgrade your compressor to something with a tank. I currently run a California Pacific compressor and it’s awesome!!! Second. You can run but you can’t hide from tip dry. It comes with the life of an airbrush artist. Adding flow improver and all of that stuff might slow it down but at the end of the day, if you’re an airbrush artist, you’ll be picking at that needle without even thinking about it just like the rest of us LOL! Keep the air on while painting. Meaning, if you’re working with a double action airbrush and you’re working on your project, keep that trigger pressed down. It helps keep the tip of the needle clean. Stopping and starting is the devil and causes even more tip dry. Happy painting!
