Tamiya 87089 Airbrush Cleaner 250ml, 87089

Product Information

Give it a soak in IPA or metho, or Windex (the clear blue liquid with ammonia in it). If you use Windex, make sure that you wash it out thoroughly, as the ammonia can damage the chrome in the a/b.

I’ve seen people use lots of different stuff including Windex and Simple Green, for cleaning airbrushes.. My one caution is that if you use a generic or household cleaning product, make sure you’re using one that does not have ammonia as a component. Ammonia is a little bit reactive with some metals and alloys and can cause corrosion or tarnishing. Needle fully home another cup of cleaner flushed thro. Leaving just a drop in the nozzle to lubricate. Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner works very well with the acrylic Vallejo Game Color which are a pain to airbrush. Should work with Tamiya as well. Alcohol is also a very good cleaner for all things acrylic. I do not recommend using cotton buds with airbrushes, though it seems to be common practice. I highly recommend using old brushes instead. With all this talk of cheaper glue, I gotta wonder - just how much building does everyone do? I get through maybe a bottle a year, and it’s just not worth the savings to go for cheaper bulk options for me! But maybe there are folks churning through it faster than me?I have been gluing all my models the last two years with the airbrush cleaner. So much so I recently refilled my old Tamiya green bottle with cleaner.

After a friend gave me some advice, I've now started using Acetone for both Acrylics and Enamels and it works hundreds... This automotive windshield washer fluid makes an outstanding airbrush cleaner and as you can see it’s dirt cheap I just need a dedicated spray room. Mmm flat balcony na Pauline needs it for her plants. Tut what to do what to do Had no problems thinning and using Tamiya, forgot about the smell! Went on well and cleaned the airbrush in the same way after normal lacquers, no problems. Many thanks to you all for yet again helping with hard earned advice!!For cleaning out the brush. I use Spraycraft or Liquid Reamer cleaner from an aerosol can. I then spray some tap water through the brush to clear out any remaining cleaner.
