seen a frickin LOT of airbrush cleaning videos, this is the first time ive ever seen anyone push the needle back thru square side forward to clean the body. From here, that looks like a damn solid tip, and is something im going to try when i next clean my cheapo neoeco that i use for priming. Thanks for the video, and you have earned a sub, mate.

WOW. I have seen many different YouTube videos on airbrush cleaning but I have never seen any of the other airbrush users use that particuler method of cleaning the inside of an airbrush by running the needle through the brush backwards and how well that method will work in helping clean the inside of the airbrush. Once again you have taught me some more very useful information. Thank You Sir.

Wow it's worked again, Thankyou so much!

Watching the whole video was worth it just for the tip of taking the needle out through the front, and then using the blunt end to dislodge any stubborn paint residue!!

[sahhull]

Its not difficult.
Ive had my cheap airbrush for 6 years. It still works.
I take the time to take it apart and clean it. Every time.

The problem is... People always looking for the 'that will do' shortcut and the easy fix.
The shortcut and the easy fix will result in a clogged airbrush

Wow! Thanks to this video my cheapo airbrush is spraying like new again! I was having issues with it spraying very sporadic and turns out that there was the tiniest speck of dried paint in the main nozzle outlet. I was ready to throw it in the trash and buy a new one. Running the needle blunt end first was what did it. Thanks again!

Paul from NB Canada Thanks for the great content!!! Now if I had only seen this video before I spent a few days fighting my Sotar 20/20¡!!

[peternelson]

Great instruction. As a newbie this was brilliant help. Is there help on adjusting the airbrush?

[thehungryhungarian]

As a beginner this was very useful! Thank you!

[robertmann]

Thank you for the backwards needle trick ( 1st I heard of it), subbed ÷ liked )

[charlescastell]

I like to use pipe cleaners when cleaning the interior of the air brush body, instead of running the needle in backwards; I'm afraid of damaging the Teflon seal at the rear of the cavity. Seems to work really well, and can be used over, rinsed and again until it comes out clean. Just my 2 cents worth!

Airbrushes are amazing when they work. However, they are annoying as heck when you realize how much maintenance they need to work properly.
I love and hate airbrushes.

[eagleeye]

This reminds me of cleaning the M16. No matter how many times you cleaned it, and thought you were done, there was ALWAYS something left. Lol

[samuel-mjov]

Really effective for your video thanks for the information ❤

I am strongly entertaining the idea of airbrushing.I swayed away from it for some time think I had to be an artist( able to draw) to airbrush. Guessing that's not completely true. I have been been watching your videos for a while and I like what I see so far. Keep sharing Please. Now for a question, Is it good idea to have a water trap at both the compressor unit and the spray gun or what? Thanks in advance

[billysayers]

Graight video thanks I will be trying your methods of cleaning.

[mattmanchip]

Im having an issue where ive cleaned my airbrush, but now the tip of the needle is going through and just past the guard, do u know what ive broken?

[dannymorgan]

Hello, love your channel. So I have a Badger Sotar and I’m trying to get fine lines and I’ll start out fine but when I get to the end of my line and let off I get a spurt of paint . I’m wondering if it’s the needle not seating well in the nozzle or what. Thanks in advance.

Question brother.. my paint room is air conditioned around 72 degrees. My masters airbrush compressor with trap. I seem to get alot of moisture in my trap. Do I need to use a small moisture trap under my gun. And pointers will help. Thanks again brother

My airbrush got stashed for six months after I had not completely cleaned it, all I had done at the time was gurgling some cleaner through it. I pulled it out of storage finally, but the intake (siphon feed) was fully clogged with extremely dry paint. I'm been soaking it, and scrubbing what I could for days now, and I got all the paint I can see out. The air sprays fine, all individual components are clean, but there is no suction in the intake. I would deeply appreciate any help you can offer.
thanks!
