flush it thorugly, pull your needle out of your tip and clean that well,and flush with regular mineral spirits. I find some brands of LT leave a residue that gums the 'brush up.  I always use a drop or two of Media lube in my cup ( I have agravity feed) blown through the needle to keep this "stickage" from happening.  Mineral spirits or alcohol shot thru the brush for a few seconds at the begining of the next session clears this away and I have reduced my problems by doing this.

Lacquer thinner is what I would use.

I am using Model Master clear lacquer finish and was wondering what is the best thing to use for cleaning my airbrush after words?
