Ok I have my new Airmaster out and I am ready to use it. But a quick question??? When I want to switch colors do I have to disassemble the whole thing before adding the new color to it. And when I am finished do I need to take the whole thing apart and clean it. The paper that came with my Airmaster just shows disassmebly and assembly.

When I'm ready to switch colors, I run the cleaning fluid through until it sprays clean (on paper towels) and then it's ready for the next color. Sometimes if the two colors are very close and I'm blending anyway, I'll go ahead and add the next color without cleaning.

Between colours... no... just rinse thoroughly, then spray water through it until it runs clear. If you use lustre dust you may need to take it apart to get it all out though.

When you are done... well I always take mine apart to clean it... I find that I have residue left if I don't. I just rinse as above, take it apart & soak it in the cleaning solution for a few hours. The I rinse with water, dry the pieces & put it back together. I also re-use the cleaning solution!

isn't it cool, you can even airbrush on white silk flowers to match the rest of your cake.

Hubby got mine from kopykake. He found the website when he saw me looking at them and while I was sleeping he pulled up my history and found it and ordered it for me for Easter. I got the 9 oz. bottles of coloring as well.
