I just bought an air brush and I want to play with it but I don't know how to cean it. do I have to take it apart ??? or just using water instead of color ??
please help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Go to YouTube and type "airbrush cleaning" into the search box and it will bring up a couple of good videos that tell you exactly how to clean your airbrush. That's how I learned to clean mine. HTH

Thank you so much Bonnell
but they use some cleaning solution what do you use for cake air brush ??I find some video but they are not for cake.
and always you take it apart??

So this intricate piece of highly delicate equipment came without instructions? Cause it's pretty fairly complicated stuff to take apart and put back together if you don't have a visual aid.

hi LURVELY
NO instructions !!!! I don't know how to use it and how to clean it and .......
but I can't wait to play with it

Learned this years ago with a class from Francis Kyper: dissolve a denture cleaning tablet in water and run it thru your airbrush as a cleaner. Cover the front nozzle to force the air to bubble up thru the liquid in the cup then flush with plain water. This will help keep your brush running like new just like mine that is +30 years old and only occasionally gets a new needle!

Thank you very MUCH bisbqueenb
I think I am ready to try it

Try using plain water where the paint goes.Turn on the airbrush and spray into the kitchen sink until the water comes out clean.you may have to repeat the steps several times.I have had my airbrush for almost 3 years and this is how I clean it.

Shoot vodka through it - takes less than a minute.

I bought the KopyKake cleaning solution. I have no idea what's in that stuff, but it makes me cough and splutter really badly. I would definitely prefer to use water or vodka.

I also use an airbrush cleaner solution made by Kroma Kolors. And yes it does make me cough and sputter so I use it sparingly and I flush with water afterward. The YouTube videos show you what parts you can take off easily to clean without totally disassembling your airbrush (take my word for it they are almost impossible to get back together if you take all the insides out - ask me how I know this). All I use on my airbrush is water and airbrush cleaner I bought at my cake supply store.

I first run water through mine, then everclear.

I have an expensive Badger (which I hate) that came with a lovely little booklet, but NOT ONE instruction on how to clean it or take it apart.

I now have a GREX (which I LOVE) and it came with very explicit instructions.

Thank you very much everybody for help
you are great
