discussion Clean up after varnish

[Steve Brodie]

Hi,


Sorry if already been asked But; after you have sprayed matt or gloss varnish (acrylic) do you use water to flush the airbrush clean or still use airbrush cleaners ?


Thanks

I use water to clean vallejo varnish and window cleaner to clean future. The ammonia in window cleaner doesn't like chrome so I flush with water after the windex. I don't buy a/b cleaner because I've not needed it.

Clean the excess out withpleanty of water, pour the resulting liquid out of the cup. Then blast some water though the airbrush. Then clean with LOTS of cleaner.


I normally rinse through a couple of times with water again.


This rigorous cleaning is due to varnish being a pig to clean out once it has cured in the airbrush...
