Createx/Faskolor, being water based needs to be sprayed at about 30psi upwards without thinning, thinning it can cause it to spider across the surface. I have a 50l 2HP compressor in my spray/workroom and doing drop shadows last night for two hours, that reservoir was needing to be filled every bout 15 mins or so, so the compressor pump kicking in.

The Tamiya Spraywork is designed for use with much lower PSI spraying paint, hence the unit not having a reservoir, the pump is under a lot less pressure.

It is difficult to explain, but if you spray with say Pactra, you can, with some success do shells off cans of air, you try that with Faskolor, and on a TC shell, you will go through two full LARGE cans.
