Thanks for the tips. The 1156 is Testors brush cleaner for enamel paints. The instructions for the air brush refer to thinner and solvent but are not specific as to what they are referring to. For the time being I will stick to thinner as it seems to be cleaning it out pretty well. Thanks again.

I would stick to their thinner, or Testors thinner... maybe some other Aztec owners can give you a better answer. I would hesitate to use lacquer thinner in it as of all the plastic... I'm not famiiar with the brush cleaner, is it for airbrushes or regular brushes? If it is for airbrushes I am sure you can use it as well...

I would definitely soak the tip for awhile after you are through spraying(I used to do it overnight on my old Aztek) to make sure you get all the crud out.. Many people run into gradual buildup of paint in there till it clogs...

Maybe one of the Aztek users could tell you if you could use mineral spirits which I am thinking you can... much cheaper to clean with and even thin paint with!!!

I am new to airbrushing and am useing an older Model Master airbrush model 50601 which I am assuming is made by Aztek. My question is when cleaning do you use only the thinner 1799 or can you use the brush cleaner 1156 as well? I am spraying Model Mater enamels.
