Airbrush advice needed.......

I would not send acetone through it. There is a little nylon like bushing deep inside. I think acetone will eat it.

I dont know what to do, I use Medea airbrush cleaner its ok

I use small quality pipe cleaners you get from smoke shops. Mashpee commons there is a smoke shop

I actually am sending my 155 back to badger for some love, I got that little bushing out by mistake and its never been right since.

Flap you ever take that apart ? The only tricky thing is the trigger and the little piece backing it up . When you pull the needle, by loosening the nob on the end and sliding out . That trigger is going to fall out . The needle goes right thru it .. Get a good mental picture of it first and its no big deal . Pull needle and unscrew nose cone assembly . You need round toothpicks to dig the dried out crap out of the nose cone. You need a pencil with a good eraser to clean the needle . Just put the needle down on a table with a piece of paper under it and erase all the crap off it .. Don't know about the acetone .

And be careful doing it if you are near the sink.....it will go down the drain. I still forget once in awhile if I'm hurrying.

Take it apart on a table with news paper,or regular white paper under it .. There are springs but they are not going to come out . Yea stay away from the sink ..

When I'm done painting I break it down and put all the parts in a tupperware container full of hot water and add some windex and after it soaks a while like Tagger said I use some toothpicks to clean out the nose cone.

It seems to clean it well but mines been acting up lately too. I have not done the pipe cleaner trick so maybe I'll try that next time.
