Question : I use my airbrush with water-based paints, and it is clogged, what should I do ?

Answer : There are different levels of flushing and troubleshooting.

We must do each level gradually if the problem is not resolved.

The test : getting the water out 100% correctly

1/ rinse with water and partially remove the needle, slide it in and out, to unclog the nozzle

2/ gently remove the nozzle, blow, tap, to dislodge the blocked grain, clean the tip of the nozzle with your finger. Screw everything back together and rinse with water.

3/ Disassemble the entire airbrush, and check, wash each part, dislodge the paint in the ducts. Reassemble and spray with water.

Once you have thoroughly cleaned the airbrush, you sometimes need to dilute the paints a little more so that the clogging does not start again.

From time to time it is necessary to dislodge the paint which dries and accumulates.

you must rinse with water regularly and never let the airbrush dry, you must leave it with water contained when it is left out of use
