So while this video is older I'd like to put this out there. The problem of the chrome being stripped off from the inside of the paint cup is not only a problem with "cheaper" airbrushes. If you do a search you will see it's common in most airbrushes including my favorite iwata. While this will happen naturally over time ammonia will really speed it up and it makes it a pain trying to clean the cup for a color change. The quickest way to strip the inside of the cup is leaving cleaner in it. Do not under any circumstances leave cleaner in your brush for extended periods. Overnight is all it takes. The manual on my brush says no longer than 10 minutes.

@@xanderguldie What would you recommend for thinners? seen so many, 2-1 (water/IPA) ratios with 10mlFlow improver and 1ml retarders added to 200ml mixes. In the above mix he's used Glycerin, which many recommend, would it work with the above formula do you know? Just new to airbrushing and trying to gather the best solutions and mixes, found a window cleaner solution without Ammonia, so not so harmful.

@user-rz7pw5rk5t For cleaning, I use a couple of different things. Usually, I start with warm water, then my homebrew cleaner, which consists of windex, isopropyl, and a couple of drops of glycerine. Depending on how much paint I used, I'll flush my airbrush with a little bit of acetone. For thinners, I dont like to use retarders unless I need the paint to dry slowly for some reason. I mix rubbing alcohol with water 1:1, and that's it. But it depends on what kind of acrylics you're using. So I recommend you experiment with the ratios.

I might try your recipe for the cleaner, because my recipe is a little different and think it's a little lacking. But I really like my thinner. I'll share my recipes below. Cleaner: in a 500ml squeeze bottle (all "measurements" are approximate) 1 part distilled H2O 2.5 parts windshield washer fluid (blue H2O) or rain-x windshield washer fluid (orange H2O, works better (reduced tip dry) but costs more) .5 - 1 part 90% ISO propanol alcohol 15 - 20 drops glycerin Thinner : in a 500ml squeeze bottle (all "measurements" are approximate) 2 part distilled H2O 1 part 90% Isopropyl alcohol 10 - 12 drops glycerin (flow aid & slight retarder) 10 drops propylene glycol (retarder) I use the glycol (a "second" retarder) to counter the faster drying effects of the alcohol. Some might say cut back on the alcohol, and I have tried that and it seems like it isn't as smooth (i.e. orange peeling or pigment speckles) and get a lot of wave dry without glycol. Also with this recipe I've noticed less tip dry.

As a side note to the Ammonia harming rubber seals. The most common (non Chinese) brand of seal is EPDM Rubber. Ammonia is only harmful to the rubber if used in concentrated form and left to sit. With the diluted amount used in Windex, and the diluted even more with your solution, there will be no harmful effects. The only seal that Ammonia will really cause damage is with Viton seals.

@@pilot4701 Actually, Tamiya acrylic is a solvent based "hybrid" acrylic. I haven't tried Grump's mixture with it and while I know what I'm about to mention "ruins" dealing with this paint because it's acrylic, but *THE* best thinner I've ever used with Tamiya acrylics (and still do) is Mr. Color Leveling Thinner, which is a LACQUER thinner. I usually mix 60-70 (sometimes even more)? % thinner to about 30-40% paint and it airbrushes flawlessly, never clogs the airbrush tip and dries smoothly and durable. Having said that, you must then clean your airbrush with regular 'ol lacquer thinner but believe me, once you try it, you won't go back.

If so it saves me from buying two more chemicals. Thank you again.

A note on Ammonia: In its raw state, Ammonia is a very caustic Gas (not a liquid). It is used when dissolved in various other substances and used in many things from rocket fuel to agricultural fertilizer (including some food products.) Off the shelf cleaning Ammonia is around 30% Ammonia in water. Windex says their cleaner contains 5.66% Ammonia. When mixed in Grumpy's cleaner it is down to around 1.7%, probably not enough to do any harm unless left to soak in it for an extended time. Mission Models Paints do say you can strip their paint with Ammonia or Alcohol.

They had 2 mixes with one of them similar to yours with the exception of ammonia while the other used windshield cleaner in the other one. They didn't measure the glycerin in any way and just poured a small amount into their mix. The rest of it was 1:2 glass cleaner to water for their glass cleaner mix and 1:1 when using windshield cleaner with both getting alcohol and glycerine.

Painting on wood, how much should one care about contaminants in the water? And what ratio of thinner to paint do you use?
@pawpawstew
@pawpawstew 2 жыл бұрын
Ratios of paint thinner to paint will vary greatly depending on the viscosity of the paint, the air pressure at which you are spraying, and the needle/tip size on your airbrush. Even within the same brand of paint, colors that are more highly pigmented will be thicker. I would start by doing an internet search for "How to thin X paint for airbrushing" where X is the paint brand. Be aware that this mix is ONLY for water or alcohol based acrylic paints and some brands may have different lines (e.g. Vallejo Model Color vs. Vallejo Model Air) that thin differently. Once you have a general idea of how to thin for your setup, do some tests on a scrap subject from there to fine tune things. As far as contaminants in paint, that's just something you always want to avoid since it can effect adhesion and the quality of the finish

Windshield washer fluid is made with methanol (wood alcohol). Methanol vapors are toxic. Bad stuff.

Very helpful video, is the idea to run the airbrush cleaner through the airbrush? Or is the purpose to disassemble the airbrush and scrub the parts with it?

You can just use distilled water mixed with distilled white vinegar to clean an airbrush. Soak the parts for about 5 minutes if breaking airbrush completely down for a thorough cleaning. Then just use cotton swabs and pipe cleaners. Dry. Reassemble. You can add Floetrol (flow aid/leveler) and Glycerin to the cleaner if you want. White vinegar is one of the best cleaning agents there is. Heck...it removes rust if you soak rusty parts in it for a day. Also...you can use air tool oil to lube all the o-rings, etc.

I’m not sure as I haven’t really experimented with anything else. I would suggest that if you do try that you please try on a test subject first!!

The percentage is simple math. The rest is plain water. When you calculate your amounts. figure it with the amount of water already in the alcohol.
