Andrewgeddon Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 So after tossing out my last airbrush in a fit of rage, I picked up another one to "start from scratch" and promised myself I would be much more diligent in cleaning it. Following the example of "Next Level Painting," after I use my airbrush I make sure to give it a good cleaning, and I leave it to "soak" for a while in a 50/50 mix of water / airbrush cleaner. My problem... I picked up a large-ish bottle of Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner, and I went through it in a couple of sittings... my water/cleaner mix looks like it could use a change, but I don't want to have to buy a bottle of cleaner for every other use. Anyone have any recommendations for a bulk alternative? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 We've been successful with a 32 oz bottle (on amazon). You can also use ultrasonics to help keep it clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I use this stuff: https://www.dickblick.com/products/iwata-medea-airbrush-cleaner/ A big bottle is about $8 at the Blick store on Glisan. Lasts forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
