Thanks Dave. The regular and thorough cleaning was with the freebie AB I was given. Don't bother with the H&S Ultra, unless, as I say when I use primer, that's when it seems to require a more in depth cleaning. And! Since I don't use primer that often!! It's just a flush through after acrylic paints are used. That said, I'll give the Mr Hobby tool cleaner a look!Doug try flushing through with a decent cleaner , mr hobby tool cleaner is my favourite it will remove the brown stuff off the blanket with no problem's, a couple of flushes through with it then some thinner or water job done our own John Race used it on what he thought was a well cleaned airbrush and was shocked at what came out ,its very strong they recomend not to use it on cheaper airbrushes for fear of melting the seals/washers thingy's.
But yep you've guessed it ,I still put it through my cheepies as well with so far no adverse affects but I've never stripped a airbrush down only ever flushed through with said cleaner I do occasionally pull the needle out the back and give it a good wipe but thats all. Dave
This isn't meant to be telling persons how to clean a airbrush just how I go about it ,that way I dont break anything ie over tighten and snap nozzles its just left how the manufacturer put it together. Its clean so why take it apart.
