For Iwata HP-CR Revolution Airbrush Users
Iv'e been using a Paasche H single action airbrush for many years, but I decided it was time to try a newer design double action model. My previous experience with a double action was the Paasche VL which worked well but was very difficult to clean. Anyhoo, after reading all of the threads on this forum, I decided to go with an Iwata. The Eclipse was a little beyond my budget, especially when I'm not sure I can even use a double action after so long with a single. I ordered an Iwata Revolution HP-CR with an adaptor for my Paasche hose from Dixie Art last week and it arrived today. I am very impressed with the feel and quality of the unit, but was a little surprised at the limited amount of documentation. I have hooked it up and run some thinner through it and all seems well. Before I start practicing with paint, I was hoping anyone who owns and uses this tool could give me some tips on cleaning and maintenance. If I am reading the cleaning instructions correctly, all I have to do is clean out the cup after use and then run pure thinner through the brush at higher pressure. That really seems to easy, so am I missing something? I don't want to use it, store it for a couple of days and find it frozen up because I didn't clean it properly. Also, it comes with a really wierd looking little wrench with just a small slot in it. I haven't tried to take it apart, but what exactly is the wrench for? Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Thanx
