Hi--
I've just started using an airbrush to apply enamels and traditional glass stainer paints. I'm wondering what sort of cleaning solvent people use after doing this. My airbrush is a mess!
Thanks,
Jennifer

Paint thinner for lusters. Water and soap to clean up after paints and stains mixed gum arabic or Klyr Fire medium.jen prentiss wrote:Hi--

Re: Using an airbrush for enamels
What are you spraying? You simply need the right solvents, water, paint thinner, alcohol, whatever cleans your medium. First spray plenty of the solvent through and then take the brush apart and make sure all the parts are clean.jen prentiss wrote:Hi--

Do this once with a solvent other than water and you will be a water solvent lover.
