0,2 mm Nozzle Cap for Aventus

0.2 mm nozzle cap for airbrushes of the Aventus line (Gaahleri)

A spare nozzle cap with a diameter of two tenths of a millimeter for airbrushes of the Aventus line. The cap is the outer part that surrounds the nozzle and directs the stream of air around it. It tends to be the part that gets damaged most often, because it sits at the tip of the tool and does not survive a fall or careless cleaning.

Why the cap matters

The cap does not look important, but it decides how the paint breaks up into droplets in the stream of air. A bent or dented cap throws the spray off to the sides, so the tool starts spraying asymmetrically or spitting even when it is otherwise in order. A number of modelers change the needle or the nozzle needlessly in such a situation, although the fault lies precisely in this small outer part.

What to watch out for

• The diameter of the nozzle and of the needle must always match, otherwise the airbrush will not seal
• Install the part on a clean thread and without force, nozzles break off easily
• Before replacing it, take the tool apart and clean it, deposits are the most common cause of trouble
• Never straighten the needle with pliers, a bent tip cannot be repaired
• Spare parts are tied to a particular line of the tool, and need not fit another brand

Who the part is for

• Owners of an airbrush of the same line who keep their tool running
• Modelers who spray often and naturally run out of parts
• Anyone whose needle has bent or whose nozzle has been damaged
• Anyone interested in changing the nozzle diameter according to the kind of work
• Anyone who wants to keep the tool in service without a repair shop

The spare part is supplied on its own; the other parts of the tool are not included in the package.
