discussion Airbrush cleaning

[Guest]

Hi everyone, I haven't done a build since 2010 but I'm back and ready to crack on. I've dug out my airbrush and recently bought a high end ultrasonic cleaner.
I'm just wondering is an ultrasonic an efficient way to clean an airbrush? If so what's the best solution to use?
Surprisingly all my paints and glue are still usable after being stored for nearly 7 years.

Thanks everyone,

Sam
