Fyi, the trigger spray top from the Windex bottles will fit on the 16oz Createx bottles of reducer. You may have to shorten the siphon tube a little. This way you can spray right from the 16oz bottle of reducer.
Hey Dan great video !I use the exact same technique because I learned from the best !! YOU!!! But I use the Iwata stiff bristle brush that comes in the cleaning kit that brush is amazing for getting that pesky paint ring that forms in the cup and it’s great for cleaning tip dry I put 4011 reducer in a cap and dunk the bristle brush in it and it gets that dry paint off quick ! But the cretex white is still an absolute pain in the ass ! No matter how they mix it 1-1 or even 70-30 it still tip dries I think you would get tip dry if you put 2 drops of paint and a full bottle of reducer I bet you’d still tip dry with Cretex opaque white lmao but your the best Dan I owe all that I know to you and your teachings and advice you gave me when I wanted to quit ! You gave me advice and when my Iwata is runnin funky and my paint is spidering I remember what you told me you said Marc it’s just paint !! Relax step away and cool down clean your brush and start again or stop for the day and come back ! So if you’re just learning like me Dan will change your life ! I’m noticing through your advice and practice it’s getting easier and my paint is flowing better just like you said it would so DO NOT GET FRUSTRATED JUST LIKE DAN SAID ITS JUST LIKE PLAYING A GUITAR YOU DONT START OUT LIKE EDDIE VAN HALEN ! You practice practice and when you think your done practice some more ! I try to practice dagger strokes and shading the ball and small dots for 1 hour a day ! Thank Dan YOU ROCK 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Student forever Marc ( aka EL PADRE AIRBRUSH PAINTING!)
Wow! I don't even know what to say Marc. That is so nice of you to say and it makes me feel really good to know that I am able to help people out there like you that want to do airbrushing. It is such a cool art form but it can be frustrating. I started the videos because I wanted beginners to have a place to turn to for answers not only for how to paint something but to help with all the troubleshooting problems that can and WILL occur. I love getting feedback like this, it makes it easier to keep going and make my next video. Thanks again Marc.
Hi Yvonne. I never found anything but the reducer recommended for the paint you're using as a good cleaner. I even tried Windex early on, and it is not as good as the reducer. You may get away with it if you are using Illustration colors, but definitely not the Wicked. I think a good habit would be the reducer. It's just what I have been doing forever, and it works! Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching.
Hi Angelo. Here is a link to the video about the metal backer board and magnets. There is a link for the Magnets in the description. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching. ua-cam.com/video/HNlSowFb8z4/v-deo.htmlsi=Wp5o2v8zZnA7phpR
I do about the same as you, but I've always just used plain water in a squirt bottle to clean the cup and flush things out between colors. Not sure what's in reducer but, I figure spraying water into a collector, where a certain amount ends up in the air, might be less toxic. That said, I don't paint at your level of skill, so my cleaning may not be as effective as yours.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner John. Keep in mind water may work with Illustration colors but not with wicked colors. Especially when the paint dries to the side of the cup. Tanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

Can I use plain water to clean too?

Does reducer work on LA criminals?
