Be better using 600-1000 grit emory cloth. Make sure you lay it on the cloth before you start so the angle of the point is flush with the cloth and hold it in that position with your finger where the two angles meet or you'll throw off the spray pattern/use of it making it useless. Once it done and correct polish it. There is an actual needle sharpener but with practice it shouldn't be needed.
If you heat the needle to red-hot and let it air-cool, naturally, shouldn't that kinda "temper" it and prevent breaking from work hardening? Just a hypothesis.
Thanks! Cardboard trick worked nicely!
Big thanks! Helped a ton!👍

Two pieces of glass or kitchen tiles works really well...
True but not everyone has that readily available but just about everyone has a self healing mat in the modeling community
I wonder if you could create a new tip by putting the needle in a drill and using a whet stone.

Could you show how you made your paint box?
I purchased it off of Amazon. It’s a master airbrush portable spray booth. It’s the $89 one
@@CustomScaleModels thanks!
Two pieces of plywood rotate and pull through with the grain

It'll break really easily at the tip
Knock on wood this has yet to happen to me. Nice tutorial
