[QUOTE="Jangos kid, post: 103719, member: 204"] Hey Tim. One thing you could try, is using the telon tape differently. Teflon tape is designed to be wrapped around the treads of your connecter before you screw the connecters together, not wrapped around the outside, (as I see you have done;) ) Take all your connecters apart, and put about 2 or three wrapps around the male threads. Now, you have to do it the right way, ie wrapp it the right way, so that when you screw the parts together, it doesn't unwrapp your tape as you thread the parts together. It looks like you might have the wrong gun there for that compressor, but I would bet you 10 bucks that if you apply your tape correctly, you wont have any leaks ;) D Edit: OOppss, I read your post again & see that you did apply tape to the threads, as well as the outside. :( Hmmm, I guess I agree with everyone else, need a regulater & maybe different airbrush for that set up.
