Lost the front right T&A wheel for now so can’t finish the track bashing on this side

This one is a bit better

Have you tried running neat cleaner though it, but back blasting it first*

*Thumb over the tip guard to form a seal so it forces the cleaning back into the container and body

Yeah mate. I do that as part of my cleaning routine.

Fair enough, are you using acrylics or enamel BTW

Potentially opening a can of worms here but here goes; I have a Harder and Steenbeck Evolution 2 in 1 Airbrush and my 0.4mm set no longer works.
I'm usually very careful and dilligent when cleaning my airbrush, but I can see that paint is starting to form up on the inside of the body, so I've ordered a ultra sonic bath cleaner. Now I know that some modelers are dead set against using sonic baths to deep clean their airbrushes but that other guys swear by them and will regularly use them.
I want to try the sonic bath but I want to know what solution I should use. Probably a 50/50 mix with water. Obviously when I strip the airbrush down I will not be putting the delicate part that the air flows though anywhere near the bath.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated gents.
Thanks.

This looks like a fantastic shop mate. Do you use them often?

only for supplies now but its where I go for all of my kit

 

[Dads203]

Mr Tool cleaner will actually glue kits together its that strong, it’s probably the same stuff as Tamiya extra thin cement. I can vouch that it’s very good for cleaning up an airbrush , just keep it away from prolonged exposure to the seals as it will cause them to swell.

Acrylics mate. I rarely use enamels.

You could try disassembling the airbrush and leaving it to soak overnight in a tub of cleaner

Found the T&A wheel, track bashed, Tiffy might say it’s just a little tight.

Jolly is not a word I would usually associate with track bashing, heavy is however.

Any links to prove that?
