Tamiya 87089 Airbrush Cleaner 250ml, 87089

Product Information

Plus also fine spray water mist about 15 minutes before spraying. Worked well when I used the garage. Put some in a container (old margarine tub / yoghurt tub etc). Dump the business end of the airbrush in the cleaner and leave it for about 30 minutes. Scrub the bits with a stiff paint brush. Strip the working parts and leave them in some fresh cleaner for a while longer if needs be... Or just to be sure. That will sort it. Always good to see this posted again. I have been using the airbrush cleaner as liquid cement for several years now and actually just refill the same old green top bottle with an eyedropper every so often from the airbrush cleaner bottle.

Needle fully home another cup of cleaner flushed thro. Leaving just a drop in the nozzle to lubricate. Been using this for a while, works very well. Only thing i find a problem is getting the last of the spray out of the can. You know its in there but tried, shaking and more shaking even soaking can in hot water but usually end up throwing can out! Anybody else have this issue?? First I flush out with two or three cups of water with compressor as high as possible. Preserves airbrush cleaner.With all this talk of cheaper glue, I gotta wonder - just how much building does everyone do? I get through maybe a bottle a year, and it’s just not worth the savings to go for cheaper bulk options for me! But maybe there are folks churning through it faster than me? This Iwata Medea Airbrush Cleaner works well but like many name brand products, it’s absurdly expensive. even the paint reservoir and a cotton bud took some effort, doesnt look like it did when it was brand new just prior to this test. Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner works very well with the acrylic Vallejo Game Color which are a pain to airbrush. Should work with Tamiya as well. Alcohol is also a very good cleaner for all things acrylic. I do not recommend using cotton buds with airbrushes, though it seems to be common practice. I highly recommend using old brushes instead.

After a friend gave me some advice, I've now started using Acetone for both Acrylics and Enamels and it works hundreds...Acetone for both Acrylics and Enamels and it works hundreds... the Acetone cleans it up shiny shiny.

For cleaning out the brush, after every session, I use Spraycraft or Liquid Reamer cleaner from an aerosol can. I think they are essentially the same product and are quite strong. As a final part of the process, I then spray some tap water through the brush to clear out any remaining cleaner. Only one very big problem, the booth although its big it only just takes Darings hull, so KGV etc will not fit, aaarrrgghh Remove the needle to clean. Use the other end of cotton swab to clean out the airbrush cap on the front end. There are a lot of different products that are suitable for cleaning an airbrush. These range from name brand products made by the same companies that make airbrushes and airbrush paint, to run of the mill household items that you probably already have under the sink or in the garage. Even though the above process sounds a bit long winded, it actually only takes a couple of minutes each time and becomes sop much part of the proceedings, that you hardly notice it.

and whats the cause of that paint blob on the needle, this was simple medium size spray pattern, just laying colour down. The Iwata Medea airbrush cleaning station is a great for controlling and containing your waste from airbrush cleaner When doing clean outs and color changes I spray leftover paint, cleaner and water into one of these Iwata Medea airbrush cleaning stations. I find that the jar is large enough to hold all of my waste from a typical painting session so I just empty and rinse it in the sink afterwards. I also like that the jar has a built in airbrush holder on the handle. Using the jar keeps the vapor and odor in my work area to a minimum and completely prevents any spills. An Important Distinction About Generic Airbrush Cleaner This automotive windshield washer fluid makes an outstanding airbrush cleaner and as you can see it’s dirt cheap
