I just started this journey and the learning has just begun. I practiced on rivets on a i-phone holder test kit from Cleveland Tool. Well, turns out the rivets do not like a 3x gun at 115 psi (that is our standard shop air).
So I set out to extend the air piping system into my airplane shop and install a regulator to regulate the air down to something like 70-90 psi and have small regulator at the gun. Got that accomplished with no leaks, Great!
Well not so fast, the regulator I bought from the local air supply shop basically reads the shop air pressure 115 and as I try to adjust it, it start leaking like a crazy and the main air screw compressor kicks back on and up to 115 I go.
I'll include a pic, where did I go wrong?
