Don,

Thanks a lot! Really useful tutorials on cleaning the Aztek. It seems I came out with some of the same tricks on my own, which is comforting. I now know that I am not doing anything fundamentally wrong; it is just the way this airbrush works. I was wondering if using lacquer thinner is really necessary.. I don't have spraying booth other than a cardboard box and I am worried about the lingering smell in the house.. Windex and sometime acetone seem to do the trick, at least so far (and I am only using acrylics so far).

Tips for Aztek airbrush
Posted by uranor on Monday, January 27, 2014 8:46 PM

I am looking for some tips on using and cleaning an Aztek dual-action airbrush.

Since I am using acrylics, I have to clean the nozzle thoroughly and quickly. It gets a little complicated while I am trying to work on a model (e.g. need to swap a nozzle). If anybody has a good tip to minimize the time spent disassembling and cleaning nozzles, I am here to learn. I do spray through generous amounts of Aztek airbrush cleaner, Windex, or diluted alcohol, but so far to no avail: I need to disassemble the nozzle and soak the parts in cleaner to prevent it from clogging. I have heard about straining the paint, but I really don't have the tools to do the job.. suggestions?
