Iwata Custom Micron B - Micro Air Control Valve and Stippling; Air Pressure Optimization

10
Micro Air Control (MAC) Valve (CM-C Plus Only)
The MAC Valve enables innite airow control at the airbrush’s
head providing control between stipple, ne detail, and
background spray eects.
• Spray coarse stippling eects and increase to full atomization
in a quick turn.
• Fine tuned airow.
• Maximized paint atomization control.
• Open the valve fully during cleaning. The higher pressure pulls
more paint through the airbrush.
Stippling
Iwata airbrushes are designed to produce a wide range of
stippling textures.
1. Unscrew the crown cap (#1A) and screw onto the cap dock
located on the end of the pre-set handle (#12).
2. Unscrew the nozzle cap (#1B).
3. Adjust the air pressure between 5 and 30 psi.
• Low air pressure creates coarse stipples.
• High air pressure provides ne stipple eects.
• Paint viscosity also eects stippling texture.
Air Pressure
Working pressures generally vary between 8 and 60 psi,
depending on the type of surface, the desired spray texture,
and the paint’s viscosity. Try using 14 psi or below to take full
advantage of the Custom Micron’s unique, spray characteristics.
• Spray thick paint with greater pressure.
• Spray thin paint with less pressure.
• Spray large paint amounts with greater pressure.
• Spray small paint amounts with less pressure.
WARNING: Do not exceed 98 psi
