- In this video, I completely strip and clean my Harder and Steenbeck Evolution 2 in 1 airbrush. I replace the internal seals, as well as the needle and the nozzle. I lubricate the airbrush and reassemble.
Thank you for producing this demonstration. I purchased the triple seal bits after watching this. Cheers :)
Hello, thanks very much for this very interesting video. Just one simple question as I am a brand new user of this model of airbrush: I understand what you describe is a "big" overall cleaning process, let's say to do every other year. Now what is the regular procedure for cleanning the airbrush just after use, I mean: after each use on an everyday basis? Thanks a lot for your help.
Great video, H&S are really excellent, now I can work on mine with confidence.
Thanks Eugene.
The best airbrush in the world H&S
What is the part number for the upgraded seal holder , the original that holds only 1 is 123471 and I bought the seals 123450 but need the part number for upgraded one that hold the 3
Cheers for the video. Learnt something new here
You’re welcome, Carl.
That's a helpful video, thanks good sir.
I didn’t know there was a air control valve available for the Evolution. I thought that was for the Infinity only! I’ve got to find that one!
H&S-126354 is the part number. Simple quick release with a valve is alot cheaper.
Hey Loco, thanks for the vid. Can I use Wahl clipper oil to lubricate my evolution, do you think?
I have thrown it in restorer and my fingerprints are burned in the finish till then...thanks for informational video!
Yes you have to be careful with the restorer, very powerful stuff!
The restorer will melt anything plastic, so use a glass bowl for the restorer.
Hello great video thank you. Just had a new H&S Evolution 2 in 1 (Xmas 2020) and am new too airbrushing. I seem to be having issue with air coming out whilst no pressure applied to trigger. I have used this before and had no issues albeit on one model which I am working on. I have given it a thorough clean and changed from 2mm to 4mm but still leaking air from nozzle. I am using Vallejo acrylic paint plus air flow improvers etc. Trigger seem to want to push down as well. Any ideas what the problem could be?
Hi John, i am actually trying to figure this exact same problem out. Were you able to find a solution? Thanks in advance
Yeah, I am having the same issue with mine! Did you ever work out how to resolve it? I've heard somewhere that new airbrushes can have this issue due to the O ring in the valve being inflexible when brand new, so maybe it will go away with more use?
You have the airbrush to tight to the hose loosen it up a little and it will stop
Needle Seal Retaining Screw (126470) Teflon / PTFE Needle Seal (123450)
Needle Seal Tool (123933)
So I have a evolution but is it normal to have to remove the seal? Meaning do I have to order a special screwdriver?
Is there always a internal nozzle seal? I have a evolution siverline two in one. But didn't see it back in the instructions.
Am I correct in thinking that the Hansa 281 made by Harder & Steinbeck is the same model as Evolution model demonstrated in the video, where did you get the new parts and special screwdriver from ? Thanks Terry
I don't know about the 281, but I get my airbrush spares here: www.everythingairbrush.com/product/screwdriver/
Many thanks for your prompt replies. The Hansa 281 actually has on the barrel of the airbrush that it’s made by Harder & Steinbeck (sorry I should have noted that on my message to you ( It looks identical to the Harder & Steinbeck I your video ) I’ll check it out with the link you gave me
Thanks Terry
Hi, great video for a new airbrush user with H&S Silverline 2in1. The item on the triple seal upgrade was particularly helpful, just waiting for mine to be delivered. Have one question, what lubricant were you using ?
I’m maintaining my H&S Ultra with Iwata Medea lubricant. Works great, and you literally just need a drop so don’t buy a big tube.
What lube are you using? I'm a little afraid of getting "fish eyes" in the paint by using the wrong one
I’m using Iwata-Medea lubricant though I suspect any thin sewing machine type oil would work too.
I have the solo version of this, the worst airbrush ever. Have only been giving me problems since I bought it some few months ago. Only worked properly once until it started to refuse to spray any paint out, or flushing paint up the cup. Now it might sound like I never even cleaned it properly, but thats exectly what I done after every use. Spraying tamiyas airbrush cleaner out of it, but it acts like it does not do anything about the paint inside. My cheap airbrush by Cocraft gave me less problems than this nightmare.
Maybe send it back for repairs if you have warranty
Hello ! I have a question, do you do this everytime you change your color ? Just new in the airbrush painting and got the same model. greetings from switzerland thanks for tips mate !
No, this is more of a 'deep clean'. For a colour change I get rid of the old paint, spray until no more comes out, then I spray through thinners or water (depending on the paint) until it's clear. Then I reload with the new colour. HTH.
Just had a thought, do I have to adjust the seal when changing my needle size from a 0.4 to a 0.2 so its not to loose to let paint back through the body. I understand it's obviously only 0.2 difference, but that can have an effect I would of thought and if so, is this why a lot of people have an air brush for differing sizes. I've never heard this question come up before
Hi Terry. On the H&S Airbrushes, the 0.4 or 0.2 refers to the nozzle size. The actual diameter of the body of the needle is the same.
@@cb01ttr Many thanks for your reply, it's much appreciated
Hello , can this cleaning sollution used in an ultrasonic cleaner ?
I'm afraid I don't use ultrasonic cleaners so I can't help you.
Hello, where did you buy that seal that you talk about in minute 10:50. I am looking for upgrading mine. Thanks
I get my airbrush spares from www.everythingairbrush.com/
Do you have a direct link for it?
@@cb01ttr Please, could you tell us the Product Number for the Triple Seal ? Im unable to find it....
Regards!
@@goyetus It's the triple seal valve kit item/part number 123450 for Harder and Steenbeck evolution airbrush.
@@markrayton6385 To me it looks like part 123450 is the 3 seals for the needle and there are 3 pieces in the package (all seals). These are the standard seal(s) that comes originally on the Evolution, nothing upgraded just 3 of them in the package. The standard screw is part number 123471, I have looked on everything airbrush's web site in the UK and spray gunner's site here in the US and I have not found a screw that will hold the 3 seals. That part number is what I'd like to know.
TRY THE HARDER & STEENBECK INFINITY BLINDFOLD CHALLENGE IF YOU DARE 😳
I can see you have a lot of good knowledge, but replacing a needle should always go back in from the front not the rear. Just leave the jet out till afterwards. Slide the needle back until the point can be seen in the cup position, screw the jet in and then slide the needle forward
Yeah, no. When reassembling your airbrush, the needle is reinserted from the rear, exactly the reverse of removing it in the first place. Your post makes zero sense.
