I’ve read conflicting ideas about this. One is ‘out from the front in from the back’, others in and out from the back. Is there a right and wrong?

When cleaning push needle from the back so that it enters towards the nozzle. That way you are not drawing paint into the air brush. Re assembling again from the back towards the front.I’ve read conflicting ideas about this. One is ‘out from the front in from the back’, others in and out from the back. Is there a right and wrong?

Hi AlanWhen cleaning push needle from the back so that it enters towards the nozzle. That way you are not drawing paint into the air brush. Re assembling again from the back towards the front.
Yes exactly that. CheersHi Alan
If you actually mean ‘so that it EXITS towards the nozzle’ then you appear to be agreeing with Ian, otherwise we already have conflicting ideas!?
Cheers AlanYes exactly that. Cheers
Hi Bob,I always take out and put in from the front. Obvisouly taking it out means I'm not pushing paint back through the seal, and my theory is by putting it back from the front the brush will already have been fully cleaned and I'm not risking damaging the needle tip.
I think you're more likely to damage the seals if you catch them with the sharp end of the needle. Wouldn't do the needle much good either.you could damage the seals putting it in the front?

Fair enough Paul. I see you’re from’t north, lovely place!its an American airbrush........uses a totally different system......has interchangable nozzles for different sizes or applications......the needles are only an inch long......and in some sizes are plastic!
lots of people hate them and like to deride them, i think they are great............ive own everything from cheapo chinky air brushes to badger and iwata.....all have terminally let me down in one way or another
dont get me wrong, Azteks have their own problems but i like them
