[Help] Hose gets stuck on Gaahleri Turbox Mini compressor after 1-2 turns. Missing adapter or defective thread?
Hi everyone, this is my first airbrush setup and I'm running into an issue. I just got a Gaahleri Turbox Mini.
The air hose screws onto the airbrush gun perfectly fine on both ends. However, when I try to attach it to the compressor's air outlet, it goes on smoothly for about 1-2 turns and then gets completely stuck. I don't want to force it and strip the brass threads. Because it's not screwed on all the way, the air pressure leaks immediately.
Am I doing something wrong, am I missing an adapter, or could this be a defective/poorly machined thread on the compressor side? I attached a picture showing exactly how far it goes before seizing up. Any advice for a beginner would be greatly appreciated!
Edit:While I was away, my girlfriend fixed it. She just simply put it on and attached it, and it's been running smoothly ever since. The thread was probably just a bit burred, and I was afraid [to force it], but she wasn't.
