 Subject:  Moisture TrapList thread.  
  
 Date:  Jul 31, 2001
 From:  Scott 
I've read some postings regarding compressors and moisture traps and haven't found a specific answer.
My problem is - I have a compressor with a moisture trap (small clear cylinder just before the hose connection). It appears to have moisture in it when airbrushing - but I still get water spattering through and causing problems. The recent change I can point to is that I am spraying in a garage (no other choice). Is there a hardware fix such as a new bigger better moisture trap, is there a secondary filter. Am I just stuck with about 10 minutes of paint time? Has anyone ever attempted to build a 'humidity control tank' for the compressor?

Any advice or options would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
