Get silicon glue like toothpaste. Squece how many gram inside as you like. Because it's paste form, easy for you to put inside a hole.

Any brand will do. Normally it state,' Silicon glue for fish tank' , " multi purpose silicon" or "silicon for gasket". Some with clear form and some is red or black. Any hardware or supermarket got sell. Get the cheapest one will do.

Try to mix with some clear gloss paint an paint together. Or AB a layer of gloss paint. That will give you very shine surface.

You can it at
1) miniaturehobby opposite digital mall PJ.
2) Wisma astria damansara but forget the name of the hobbyshop. You can find it easily as the wisma not that big.
3) Multifilla in balakong
4) military hobby at beside yowchuan plaza. Forget the shopping name.
Any taiwan 0.3mm AB is good enough. The best is Iwata where you can get it at http://www.hobbiescorner.com/ and HLJ.

I suggest you try out the normal thinner and see how. By the way what shopper said normal thinner is fine?

1) Wash with detergent
2) Prime it with primer
3) Spray with desire paint
3) coat with gloss if needed.

You can try the balakong multifilla. Whatever knife you want can get there.

Normally I use a stick to see the dripping. If the paint dripping is like a dot and non continues, than the mixture is right. But sometime I do AB with thicker paint. Just increase the air pressure will do.

Sometime I want to cover the surface one shot rather few time. So make the paint thicker and increase the pressure. For the mist paint flying around, I use tamiya exhaust fan to suck it out and cover my mouth and nose with mask. Hope won't die fast.

Good ab like iwata can't get in KL. You got to order online. For other like Badger, you can get it from art shop, garden megamall. Got a shop in astria, damansara, left one tamiya ab (highend 1). You may quickly go and grab it.

Why you guys like to use others thinner to mix with hobby paint? It bad for plastic and not the best for the paint. Is it the cost?

I read here many newbie here like to use normal thinner or not sure or confuse with the mixing. One bottle hobby thinner can use quite longtime unless you use it to clean ab or drink.
For play safe and sure no problem, Mr.color/ gunze paint use mr.thinner. Tamiya paint use tamiya thinner. Simple as that. For cleaning ab, than use normal thinner or ab thinner. For cleaning brush, either tamiya/water or mr.color/mr.thinner.

Take one day off and come down to kl. Here got few shop sell those 24hr silent compressor. But not cheap. Can ask some forumer here help you also.

You can try TM and cineleisure.

The only way to clear the moisture is unscrew the filter clear parts. It is very hard but can be unscrew. Cause high pressure it need to secure tight. The needle below the filter is for drain the water when it full but can't drain those small water droplet stick at the filter wall. You need to block the air and run the compressor till the pressure built up. Than press the needle below the filter to purge the water out. This would be much effective but not 100% dry. Next time get a compressor with tank. The tank act as a second filter and the air temperature will drop faster. Result you won't spray moisture out.

Your AB is a basic outside mix type. Some paint will dry at the nozzle tip. Some clog and dry paint will spray out from beginning if you stop too long. Specially fast dry paint. Get the double action AB next time if you have budget.

don't worry about the hose. AS long as the fitting inside have a seal and not broken, the air won't leakout. I don't like to use those screw type fitting. Troublesome and take time when change AB. I have change it to one touch fitting which I just plug/unplug the hose in. And standardize to all the AB. Or use a divider to divide to two hose.
Topload paint spray much more easlly and don't need high pressure. It use gravity to help the paint feed down. Normally bottom load is for high volume spray which you can attach a larger tank/bottle. Not easlly spray with thick paint since it need to suckup.
