Re: Thinners through AB

If you are cleaning your airbrush after painting with acrylics (eg Tamiya, Vallejo etc) use Mr Muscle household spray cleaner just poured into the cup and spray through 2-3 times, pull out the needle and wipe it clean with the same stuff.

If you are cleaning after Zero paints do the same but with cheap automotive thinners or cellulose thinners form your local DIY store. This will also clean Alclad .

If you are cleaning after using enamels, use white spirits.

IMHO buying anything labelled "airbrush cleaner" is a waste of good money. Cheap cleaners combined with a regular and thorough cleaning regime is more than enough.
