I just bought the Harder & Steenbeck Ultra 2024 as part of a starter kit with a ‘TC-80T’ compressor to use on some warhammer stuff, and I’m running into some issues:

1. The compressor only runs for about 2/3 minutes tops before it cuts out because of overheating.

2. Using water-based acrylics and thinning with Vallejo airbrush thinner with a couple of drops of medium. I am mixing these separately then pouring into the cup. The paint only seems to come out for the first second or two of each pull, then it’s just air. I have been cleaning thoroughly and making the sure nozzle isn’t clogged but the same thing keeps happening.

Any suggestions for either of these issues?
