I've been using dental brushes for years, they're brilliant for cleaning. I was always taught to keep my airbrush as clean and it really doesn't take that long to do at the end of a day's spraying. Love your instructional videos Will and it was nice to hear your views and techniques.
Four videos in one month?! We're being spoiled. I love watching your videos and always come away having learned something, had a chuckle and also felt the desire to research something (or buy something!)
I thought I cleaned my airbrush really well… UNTIL I watched your original airbrush cleaning video and I was mortified at the amount of crud that came out and since then I now have those paper points and interdental brushes etc and I honestly haven’t had an airbrush problem since… I’ve buggered up the mixing or air pressure but that’s MY FAULT and NOT the airbrushes fault. I’ve also shared that video a bunch of times to friends in need of a good cleaning regime and honestly Will each and every one of us agree that this way of cleaning is, for us, fast, outstanding results and no problems with our airbrushes so thank for updating it for us and sharing such a simple but extremely affective technique 🙏🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks you for making so much content Will!!!! It's always a good afternoon when I can sit down and do some modeling to the sweet, sweet sounds of your mad ramblings! :DD
Great update video Will, it was your original airbrush cleaning video that led me to your channel many moons ago and I have learnt a lot of stuff from your tutorials/how to/review videos since then, so a massive thank you is order. I follow very much the same cleaning routine with my airbrushes and very rarely have to do a full strip down and clean, even on my cheaper airbrushes! P.S. love hearing the cats giving you advice (mine are always doing that too!), but have to say you are a brave man letting them into your workshop- mine just create havoc anytime they manage to get into my modeling room, one especially is obsessed with pipettes, so I have to keep the door closed then endure the crying from them the whole time while I am working on a model.....
Not nearly enough people have degrees in farm-boy these days. World needs them desperately! BTW thanks for this update; I have been short of a couple of AB cleaning tools, look like you have sorted that for me.
1.not possible for any video from you to ever be too long: personality, knowledge, skills, dry humour are allways both entertaining and informative. you also seem like a natural born teacher 2. where do i sign up for my degree in farm boy ? 3. do you have any suggestions with tamiya acrylics ? their x20a thinner doesn' t really do the job when cleaninhg my airbrush.
I almost didn't add this episode to my watch list. I mean we have all lost count of how many airbrush cleaning videos we watched. I am glad I sat down and watched it. The dental brushes were a great tip. I got them and am waiting on the other stuff to come in from ebay. Do you happen to know what size metal tube you attach the brush to?
Thanks for this helpful tutorial; as an acrylic paint user, I wondered why the paint doesn't stick to the model but seems molecularly bonded to the inside of the airbrush.
G.Rossini would be proud.🎶😳 P.S. All in all, that really was a kinda dirty airbrush.🤔 I’ve not had any problems using Regdab Myself. Apparently it helps with the needle/interval Teflon seal interface.🤔
I was going to suggest the route canal paper points as I use them.oh,some of the nozzle reamers you can buy come with a nozzle removal adapter in one end of it.
I agree that the dangers of lacquer thinner in model making are probably slight, but can you use finger cots? I like them for spreading putty/ bondo over large areas.
If it's just the tip that's bent you could sometimes do it by rolling it on a hard surface but if the body of the needle is bent, you're actually better off to just get a new one.
My thought, exactly. I have a feeling that it is probably something like the radial gap between needle and nozzle. But, I'm not sure that's correct, since the area of the annular aperture through which the air/paint flows could vary, depending on the specific geometry of any given nozzle/needle design.

ha! thank you for the kind words. i do what i can. and lacquer thinner is your friend. =)
Haha best saying I’ve heard in a long time Will !
“fuck up an Anvil with a rubber mallet” 😂😂😂
Great idea for the soft jaw pliers. I always struggle with the air cap (on both my H&S and GSi Creos airbrushes) and I had never thought of this.
Great video, very interesting and informative. Thank you for posting :)
Very informative episode Dr. Pattinson.

Thanks Will, great Video.
Awesome remake Will, I'm going to give it a shot, thanks.
Good to see I’m not the only one who has cats giving solid advice 😂
It’s best to take cat’s advice, or else…………
Thanks Will!

Nice video will. Learned a couple of things I will use going forward.
Great video. Good tips. Thanks

Keep the videos coming Will.
Much Love bro
I agree that the dangers of lacquer thinner in model making are probably slight, but can you use finger cots? I like them for spreading putty/ bondo over large areas.
Can needles be re-straightened? If so, how?
If it's just the tip that's bent you could sometimes do it by rolling it on a hard surface but if the body of the needle is bent, you're actually better off to just get a new one.
if needle size is a measurement of area, would that mean that (pedantically speaking), it should be mm^2? such as .2mm^2
My thought, exactly. I have a feeling that it is probably something like the radial gap between needle and nozzle. But, I'm not sure that's correct, since the area of the annular aperture through which the air/paint flows could vary, depending on the specific geometry of any given nozzle/needle design.
I found out the hard way if i don’t clean my airbrush hospital clean after every time i use it…the next time i do it wont work…
Apology excepted.
