Airbrush Cleaning!

[Deleted]

Some time ago I filmed a how to thoroughly clean your double action airbrush tutorial as I saw so many comments asking how and thought i'd share my method which has worked well for me for the last 10 or so years leaving me a spotlessly clean brush in 10 min or less.

At the time I was restricted by poor lighting, audio and average image quality so I thought it time to revisit it with higher er def video, better er sound and amazing CGI and special effects!

(The CGI and special effects is not true though)



Hope it's useful to someone.

Good video. It should be required viewing for all new airbrush owners. I never stop being surprised by how many airbrush malfunctions that can be fixed by a thorough cleaning.

Thankyou, it really is simple too, i've never done anything but this on my old chinese brush and the Iwata, the only difference is the chinese brush could take a couple of nozzle seating attempts (because I'd removed the rubber o ring to use cellulose paints safely and the machining wasn't as good as the better brushes)
I still have the old one and use it occassionaly to remind myself how surprisingly good it was.
