Hi, I have a iwata airbrush. I was recently cleaning it out and when I went to screw the tip back on, I screwed too hard and broke the tip off. The threads are still in the gun. Is there a way I can get the threaded part out? If so let me know. Thanks.

Yes, but be ready to ruin a good #10 exacto blade. It may be possible to carefully lift the stripped threads from the grooves a little at a time. You may luck out by having the deeper thread remnants come out in one piece by chasing the threads in an unscrewing fashion. If the Iwata is expensive like the one I have, it may be worth going to a watch repair shop and see if they can help.
