Telling us which airbrush it is would be a good start, also filling in your location in your profile will help with answers too

Iwata makes a lubricant specifically for airbrushes, called Super Lube.

"Medea Super Lube
· Natural and non-toxic
· Can be used on all moving parts of an airbrush
· Use on the main lever, needle packing and valve-piston packing to keep them moving smoothly
· Apply in the needle cap and along the needle to enhance paint flow and prevent tip drying
· A must for any airbrush user"


A drop or two of this, applied regularly, should free-up your trigger.
