Best way to keep you 2024 evolution in tip top condition

[@giorgoschrysochoos8874]

Thank you for a detailed tutorial. Keep up the good work!

[@sped17373]

Excellent, clear and concise cleaning instructions! Throughout the process you showed the amazing design features that simplify everything--the easy trigger assembly that just drops right in, the needle chuck that guides the needle in properly, the simple nozzle design...and finger tightening everything without tools--this is fantastic! I ordered one of the new Evo's based in large part to your reactions when trying one for the first time on that H & S video. I've wanted to get an H & S airbrush for many years but have always been leery of the supposed delayed response of their triggers. With this having been addressed...and seeing all the engineering of this new Evo that makes it so much easier to use...well I just had to order one--it'll be here in three days--woohoo, X-mas comes in August for me this year! Thank you for your inspirational videos--ya got me all fired up about airbrushing again despite my current health issues...so I push myself harder.

[@sped17373]

@@dredfxcustompaint Evo arrived today--I love this airbrush! Straight out the box, made sure everything was tightened...this beauty can pull constant hairlines using opaque E'tac Plasma White on a black paper envelope effortlessly...no tip dry at all. I am stunned, am SO happy I got it and will probably buy a 2024 Infinity as well when they're finally released! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna be up all night painting w/ my Evo....🥰

Some good info there Rob on looking after your new H&S Evolution brush, the more I see this the more I like it as it's a beautiful looking brush even though I don't use them I can appreciate the quality and work that has gone onto making it👌🙏👍

[@jc2200]

Stop it John! I want to wait and see what the infinity would be like .. so I can make a decision between the 3. Robbie better do an awesome review on that one that would be able to convince the wife it’s justifiable😉

[@JohnWD40TC02]

All you need to do to convince your wife is to do the usual.... Wine and dine her, buy her some flowers and a box of chocolates and tell her the infinity would be a great asset to her as well she could use it for her makeup and for cooking then buy her a cheap £20 brush and put it in the infinity case😎 it just can't fail🤠🤣

[@astralsolari]

Father Christmas is still bringing them in for ya!.. Judging by your face on the H&S vid.. it is always Christmas when you get a new airbrush.. and what a beauty.. you had a smile from one side of the room to the other.. and so did I just watching you both.. If they have a new infinity in the pipeline I don't know how they are going to better that Evo. It looks the business.

[@sped17373]

I watched that same video--it was Rob's big grin about the control and instant trigger response that convinced me to order one of these new Evo's--it should be here this Fri. and I can't wait to try it out!

Those h+s assembly and disassembly are idiot proof and I'm the biggest one 🤪🤪 thanks Rob 😊😊😊

[@jc2200]

Great cleaning tutorial! 👌🏽I only add lube from the cup to the front of the brush. I find it to work just as good. I did lube the whole needle one time, to find out the needle chuck holder wouldn’t hold the needle and would slide fairly easy. Thought I had stripped something. Cleaned the lube off and worked great afterwards. Lovey brush👀. I’ll be back says Warwick !!👌🏽👍🏽

[@farseerflore9512]

Been using an Ultra Pro for 2 years but got an EvoCRPlus 2024 arriving today so Im here for a heads up on care and dissasembly. Great video 🤘

Thanks Rob answered all my questions in one go. Bye the way enjoyed your video with Warwick. You two (sorry 3) looked like kiddies in a toyshop with the new Evo24. Great show .

[@mikeszczutkowski3066]

Like you I pull the needle out from the back but what I do is put some cleaner in the cup and use a artist brush cleaning what part of the needle that's visible then turn the needle and repeat pull the needle out a bit repeat, pull the needle out and wipe it off then put the brush bristles in each hole and turn the brush then pour some cleaner through, put needle back in "job done".

[@chadfontaine2717]

Super helpful vid! It really shows you know what you're talking about with real world time behind the trigger. One thing I've taken to using is those squirter medical bottles that some tattoo shops use. The ones that you can squirt while they are standing upright. Easy to squirt with a pinpoint spray and doesn't spill when I knock it over. And ya... I use Q-Tips / Cotton Swabs all the time with no trouble. And I use the cheapest of the cheap ones to boot.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Yes spot on I want to get one of them bottles 👍thanks for the feedback much appreciated 👍

[@RichardsModellingAdventures]

Thanks for the link to the holder, it's just what I'm looking for at the moment. Re the cleaning, I have invested in an Ultrasonic cleaner that I just throw all of the components into every few days as well as following your cleaning steps. It works well.

Thank you for this comprehensive video! It's awesome. What might cause paint to collect on the very front of the airbrush? Specifically those two prongs at the front. I'm finding paint is collecting there and later it splatters if I don't clean it off 🤔 am I doing something wrong?

[@davida8060]

Hello Dred. I look videos about Airbrushes since a few weeks. I never, never, never saw anyone ho clean up this with so dedication like you. Absolut fantastic. I look many videos about airbrushes because i want to by one (my First). First i want to buy the new H&S ULTRA 2024. I want to paint minis (Warhammer) and terrains. I saw a video from H&S with Warrick, Andy Wardle and you. From the time you have the new H&S EVO 2024 in your hand you are so charmed from the evo, that i wan‘t the evo too 😅. In germany (sorry my english is not verry good) the new H&S EVO 2024 comes out end of january. I can‘t wait this few days 😫😅. Great Video. Greetings from germany 😉🤘🏽

Hi if you mean crown cap yes all the time if it's the h&s prong cap then no you can work with them ones on

[@paulsimmonds2030]

An alternative to dedicated airbrush lubricating oil is Wahl hair clipper oil. It is extremely low viscosity and works just as well and at just under £7 for 118ml, roughly £60 per litre, is way cheaper than Iwata lube which is £16 per 10ml, which represents a staggering £1600 per litre! A complete no brainer!

If I am understanding this, if I flush everything clean between colors and immediately after a session, I shouldn't have to take the whole thing apart...ever. Is that correct? I guess I don't understand why anyone would leave paint in it overnight when it takes seconds to flush clean.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Exactly just flush it after each session and your good to go

Grazie per la sua onesta', di dire che ci sono modellisti e aerografisti, che smontano, sfilano ago - diametro permettendo, l'ago da davanti e lo rimontano da davanti io sono uno di questi ( e lo faccio da 34 anni, con il mio primo aerografo Vivaz duse da mm.0,3 una copia del Badger 250, perché i soldi son soldi, e rovinare un ago e rimanere sul piu' bello fermi, fa' arrabbiare, perché la sfortuna e sempre dietro l'angolo). Io uso un H&S Infinity CR Plus, dal 2019 assieme ad altri 12 aerografi comprati in 34 anni, e come dice lei, si smontano ad occhi chiusi, l'unico neo difetto se vogliamo dire cosi', del mio aerografo vedendo quello nuovo e la parte dove c'è il pulsante per dare aria e colore la parte a semicerchio dietro, i vecchi modelli ruotavano si muovevano a 360 gradi e rimontarlo era un po' una scocciatura, ora fisso e aiuta moltissimo il tutto ha rimontare il tutto. Ho visto un video che Lei ed un altro modellista di figurini siete stati invitati dal boss di H&S, una bella soddisfazione e parlare e provare i nuovi modelli. Una domanda: L' Infinity CR Plus del 2024 ha le caratteristiche dell'Evolution del pulsante e parte semicerchio? e duse diametro da mm.0.28, piu' comodo con pigmenti di colore piu' densi. Grazie

[@michaelkneringer3194]

@Dred, Good advice. Yes, on a side note. Some prefer removing the needle at the nozzle end, some the reverse. Something I've noticed, drawing the needle from the nozzle/spray tip for removal. The stamped indentation of needle size ends up being a bit over sized and catches while passing through the plastic seals. Don't get me wrong, love the reminder of the needle in the brush, helps remind of the nozzle, you know. Thought was, if I can feel the passage of my stamped reminder at the end of the needle , I think I'm degrading the seals if one is so anal as to totally disassemble an airbrush. Read many old-timers stating total disassembly is unnecessary unless one hasn't done standard cleanup while working. I've also read, not sure in all cases', some manufactures will void warranty due to user disassembly.. Not an issue, H@S needles grab the seals on the way out the front end. So I would pull back to preserve the seals. H@S needles are fine, love needle size indication, just something for me to ramble about. In my defense, H@S rocks, good brushes. All I work with, they trained me.

[@Cyril-eu4gf]

Tried all of that but still the Evolution craps all over my artwork when least expected. Never got anything out of this brush. Don’t know about Evo but for me it should be NSU - no sodding use.

[@EstebanMcC]

I have one of these and, as a new airbrush user, really struggling. Session one was great. I cleaned it, or thought I did, but session two saw it blocking. I thought I had it sorted but bubbling back. I cleaned again. Left it. Now, within a minute, it blocked. Any ideas? I’ve followed your video and baffled. Thanks.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

What paint are you using first off 🤔

[@EstebanMcC]

@@dredfxcustompaint Vallejo air primer. With thinner (not sure it’s needed). I think something was due to the trigger being fitted incorrectly (by me) as it’s now working okay. I think 😀 Do you have a Zenithal highlight tutorial? Thanks for replying.

@@EstebanMcC glad you got it sorted 👍 as for the highlight tutorial I don't sorry

[@Red_Rubber_Duck]

Please Help! My rear chuck doesn't grip the needle well. If I tighten it softly like you do, it doesn't grip. If I tighten it twice as much, it grips the needle but the rear chuck comes loose half a notch when I pull the trigger back. The airbrush still paints but the rear chuck isn't stuck in place. Is that normal or should it not move at all after you tighten it?

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Hi it shouldn't do that it may have been over tightened so now it won't grip the needle may need a new one not sure with looking at it 🤔 I would drop h&s an email with the problem you have

[@Red_Rubber_Duck]

@dredfxcustompaint noooo, I did email them waiting on a response. I remember I was getting air bubbles in my paint cup so I overtightened it and it stopped the bubbles. Maybe the needle wasn't seated correctly. If it still works is it fine or should I get a new one? The gun is brand new I've only used it twice
