0,4 mm Vortex Nozzle for Aventus

0.4 mm nozzle for airbrushes of the Aventus line (Gaahleri)

A spare nozzle with a diameter of four tenths of a millimeter for airbrushes of the Aventus line. The nozzle is the part through which the paint leaves the tool, and a diameter of four tenths is the choice for work on large areas, base coats and thicker paints.

When to reach for a larger diameter

A larger nozzle covers an area faster, takes thicker paint and clogs less, which comes in handy with base coats, varnishes and large models. But you will not draw the thinnest lines with it. The typical procedure is therefore to spray the base and the large areas with the larger diameter and to refit the tool with the finer setup for shading and details, or else to have two tools.

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.
