My tip's stuck

[lardarse]

I've got one of those metal whistle tipped drip tips in a l/r 510 atomiser and it's firmly stuck. I've no chance of getting it out, it's solid, won't even twist sideways. Is this the norm? Do I have to wait 'till atty's cream crackered then break it out?

My delrin drip tip is a tight fit, but I wouldn't say it get's stuck 0o didn't think that could happen! Did you have a hard time setting it in?! I do remember reading something, somewhere ( not being too precise here, sorry... Maybe someone does remember that too) about a supplier that sent thin sandpaper so people could "shave" it if they had difficulties putting it in... Once again not sure this talk was about drip tips but I'm pretty sure it was ! Hope you'll get the help you need, I can't go any further than this

[camperman]

you could try warm water ?

the old expansion and contraction trick

[Scylla]

Or wind rubber bands around each component and use pliers to pull them apart? Or use both the hot water and rubber band/pliers trick

Oh it was about drip tips Aldo, which is fortunate 'cos Scylla's reply had me sitting uncomfortably for a minute

LMHO!

Other than that, I've nothing useful to add Lardy. :-[

[Chrissie]

Ditto Perpy

So have you managed to remove it yet Lardy? - the drip tip that is

[lardarse]

I'll leave it in 'till the atty's blown then experiment or break it out. I'll be trying a differen tip next time as well as giving this one a rub down.
(I had to completely re-write this reply as my original one was practically a script for a blue movie)

[Scylla]

We wouldn't want your precious posts to appear as rows of asterisks, would we Lardy?

scylla

[Chrissie]

There is just no answer to that Lardy Well at least I can't think of one

[Aldo]

But I can get your point
