Excellent tutorial. An alternative to the cleaner you use is called "Liquid Reamer". BE CAREFUL, as you say, it is powerful, so use a ceramic dish, NOT plastic, because it could melt and you end up getting plastic in the airbrush. The other tip is DO NOT insert the needle in from the back. You risk pranging it if you miss the hole and bending the tip. Better to leave the cap off and feed the back of the needle from the front. Push it all the way through so the tip is inside, replace the cap, and then push forward again and tighten the needle chuck.
Sometimes they can get gunked up and stick. The cap is chrome and the nozzle is brass, so you can see where they meet. Leave them both to soak for a bit in the solvent, and then, with a pair of pliers, you can GENTLY pull them apart.
This was my first H&S airbrush and I love it. Thank you for the cleaning tutorial.

I can’t open the nozzle, don’t know why 😢
Need to apply a tad bit more strength. And don't forget that we open things counter-clockwise and close them clockwise.
@@MalfunctioningAndroid I finally got it out. You’re right, I applied a bit of strength 💜 Thank you for your advice 💖
@@MalfunctioningAndroid The nozzle is not threaded.

@@TryptychUK I'm pretty sure Bunny meant nozzle cap. Or whatever it's called which is quite threaded.
