Besides the possibility of moisture in the medium already posted, it
sounds like something amiss with your supply hoses or valves.  Do you
have a pressure blaster or syphon setup?  With a pressure blaster you
can adjust air supply separately from medium supply.  With a syphon
setup is sounds as if you aren't getting enough suction to lift the
medium to the gun.  I would look for a leak in the pickup line or try
shortening it as much as possible. =20

Wet air could cause you grief, too.  Do you have a moisture trap on
your air line?  You shouldn't have to live with a blaster that doesn't
work right.   Good luck,
