Paint Leaking Back into Your Airbrush ? This Could Help

In this video I show you how to remove and replace your needle packing screw, something that can help fix any paint that may be leaking back into the channel of your Airbrush. I use the Iwata Eclipse HP.CS as the featured brush for this video, but the techniques used can be applied to a variety of different airbrushing brands and models.

Thanks for the video! Kept getting sticky needles because my seal was really bad and didn’t even know it was a part

[sean.chiarot]

Those needle packing drivers are a godsend!!! Replacing the packing was such a HUGE pain before Iwata released those. I'd been painting a while with urethanes before they came out with solvent-proof packing so I had to do it quite often.

[LTITBE]

Thank you, Wow, one more thing I learned in the airbrush world.., "Needle packing".. Definitely buying everything needed.
Thank you for sharing.

[davidoliver]

What a great video. I have used a very cheap air brush in the past. Didn't have the benefit of a good video on cleaning or much of anything else. Will be purchasing the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS tomorrow so this was just the video I needed to watch. I subscribed so will be watching your other videos when I get the Iwata. Thanks again.

[teddyjones]

Fantastic how to video, very helpful. Thank you very much for sharing your techniques, tips, and tricks. Keep yourself and love ones safe and healthy.

[vinf.]

Thanks for your videos. Been airbrushing model kits for about 4+ years now and much of what I've learned is trial and error. Very informative and helpful!!

[mrcarlo]

The right video at the right time for me! Thank you

[georgeparker]

Thanks for the information and advice, keep up with the great work.

[xaviertaylor]

Thanks. You have demistifyed needle packing. I think mine must have gone as I get loads of paint in the back of the brush - an Iwata HP-CS. Sadly I guess I must fork out the big money for the Iwata cleaning kit.

[dormaettu]

Thank you, this is exactly what happened on my iwata several times since I got one.
What's the reason for the paint to leak in the back ? (too much paint, wrong air pressure, keeping the trigger on for too long) ? thanks.

What is your cleaning procedure in the event that you get paint in the trigger chamber? I overfilled my paint cup and the excess spilled into that area. Do I need to remove the piston or is flushing the whole airbrush with distilled water good enough?

[kobayashi_zaku]

Will the iwata tool work with the needle packing of other brands of airbrush?

[SeithonJetter]

... I didn't even know my airbrush had packing lol :) Oof.. Okay well I either need to replace mine or refit it. I wish the maintenance kit I got from Iwata had one of those nice screwdrivers :/

[davidmiller]

Can u tell me what is going on with air shot stencil can’t get any response from them about my order

[MokitRoom]

Sorry but what is the inner diameter of the seal? and what is the thickness?
I will make a custom seal because no one sells it in my country :')

[topouzidd]

Iwata Maintenance Tools cost almost the same as the Eclipse, about $150! Damn!

[a.j.askins]

Will this work for a badger 150? Mine has gone missing

[rickduckett]

Air continues to flow after releasing the trigger. Is this a problem with the
Packing ?

[RandmDeath]

maintenance kit = more expensive than my rent. oh wait. its 2022. fml. iwata wins.
