Learned this years ago with a class from Francis Kyper: dissolve a denture cleaning tablet in water and run it thru your airbrush as a cleaner. Cover the front nozzle to force the air to bubble up thru the liquid in the cup then flush with plain water. This will help keep your brush running like new just like mine that is +30 years old and only occasionally gets a new needle!
hi LURVELY
NO instructions !!!! I don't know how to use it and how to clean it and .......
but I can't wait to play with it
Wow. That stinks! Cause you really should take it apart every once in awhile and clean out the back of the needle. It will start to stick on you. I do what Bisb does, but still take it apart, cause there are little nooks and crannies where stuff can build up. But, I think it depends on your airbrush model too.
I also use an airbrush cleaner solution made by Kroma Kolors. And yes it does make me cough and sputter so I use it sparingly and I flush with water afterward. The YouTube videos show you what parts you can take off easily to clean without totally disassembling your airbrush (take my word for it they are almost impossible to get back together if you take all the insides out - ask me how I know this). All I use on my airbrush is water and airbrush cleaner I bought at my cake supply store.
I first run water through mine, then everclear.
I have an expensive Badger (which I hate) that came with a lovely little booklet, but NOT ONE instruction on how to clean it or take it apart.
I now have a GREX (which I LOVE) and it came with very explicit instructions.
Try using plain water where the paint goes.Turn on the airbrush and spray into the kitchen sink until the water comes out clean.you may have to repeat the steps several times.I have had my airbrush for almost 3 years and this is how I clean it.
This is what I do, too. I've had mine for about 20 years, and occasionally take it apart when it sticks a little.
I'm going to try vodka the next time, though. Maybe that'll be better.
