Hi! I recently purchased one of these and I LOVE IT! I do have a few questions though.

1. Do I really need to take apart the entire airbrush to clean it? Can I just squirt some cleaner in, then rinse with water and airbrush it out dry? It seems to me the more you handle the inner parts the quicker something will go wrong.

2. I bought those 9 oz bottles and they are huge. I really wasn't thinking. It says they expire in 2010, is that accurate or will they last a little longer?

3. Not sure what to do with the air control knob. Where do you keep it the majority of the time?

The directions that came with it are terrible. ANy helpful hints would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jamie

PS- Here is my first airbrushed cake for my son's bday. The buttercream image is not my best, I was rushing since he changed his mind at the last minute! KIDS!
