I do the same, but! I add a quart of fantastic, works great, but for my 90% of liquid cleaner I use is plain water, I use a pump up sprayer, and spray the bowl holding over a container to catch the water. Believe me with the harder paints to clean, this is a life saver, spray as much as you need, easy, cheap and quick!

great tip for everyone. like the look of that spray booth do a vid over that sometime.

[@michaelhill7927]

Benn using straight Windex with ammonia to clean for 11 years for acrylic paint, in all my Iwatas...no better cleaner in my mind. My Iwatas all look brand new except for inside the color cups. bare brass at the bottom, but you will get that over time no matter what cleaner you use simply from wiping with paper towels etc.

[@CrankingYanking]

Oh Yea, this is what I needed, that stuff cost some bucks !! Thanks for the tip

Cool. I can’t afford to keep buying air brush cleaner.

[@michaelkeen60]

I'm sure that will work great, I really like the Glycerin addition. For the past year I've been using windshield washer fluid...alcohol and water. 1 gallon = 32 oz WWF, 8 oz alcohol, fill with water. Also use badger airbrush lube after deep clean.

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

I can only imagine the money we would've spent, if we bought airbrush cleaner. Thanks for checking out our channel Michael.

Very impressive money saving hack 😲👍🤑

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. If we sold lures the hobby would pay for itself, but may not be as fun 😁

[@bgdrewshowers7411]

I was using glass plus then I switch to windshield washer fluid it been working for me

Thank you for sharing this recipe, Ill be sure to give it a try. Would you consider doing a video share of your spray booth? It looks large and roomy. Thank you. Gary

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

Thanks for watching Gaey, give the cleaner a try. I'll try and make a video about the spraybooth in the near future, Jeff from Green country made a video about his booth recently and I'd like to wait a little while before I make a similar video. yes, the booth is roomy but, not enough room for me. Stay tuned 🛠

[@garycalcote1227]

@@BlindSymmetryLurePainting I also seen that video and its a nice setup but your booth seems bigger and being a paraplegic I require a bit more room. Again thank you.

[@carterscustomlures675]

Thanks for the video, how did you come up with the ratio?

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

Hi good morning Charlie, I mixed a small amount of it in a little measuring container and when I felt it worked good enough, I just used the same ratio for the gallon jug. If I had to buy cleaner, I couldn't afford this hobby.

[@carterscustomlures675]

Thanks

[@bgdrewshowers7411]

I have another question for you if you don't have glycerin at the moment would it be safe to run this cleaner through airbrush

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

Yes

[@adamsroy2702]

Could I get you recapie

[@bgdrewshowers7411]

after watching this video I tried this cleaner and it ruined my iwata hpbcs airbrush

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

I'm sorry to hear that, Big Drew. The only way you could ruin your airbrush is by using an "ammonia" based glass cleaner. Ammonia can destroy chrome. I "did not" recommend ammonia products. I've been using the mix for as long as I've been airbrushing without any issues. Can I ask how the airbrush is ruined ?

[@bgdrewshowers7411]

@@BlindSymmetryLurePainting it was iwata hpbcs is ruined and then I had to buy a new o-rings for it

[@bgdrewshowers7411]

but I found a cleaner with water and dishes soap and then I use the createx cleaner and gets a real clean

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

@bgdrewshowers7411 . Good morning, Big Drew. Over time alcohol can shorten the lifespan of a rubber o-ring. Replacing O-rings is normal maintenance, and i wouldn't classify an airbrush with bad O-rings as a "ruined" airbrush. Happy to hear you were able the get your airbrushrunning agoan.. Thank you for being part of the lure painting community.

[@michaelhill7927]

I call bullshit on this one, I've been using windex WITH ammonia in all my iwatas for 11 years and have had ZERO problems with ruined o-rings. Even if the rubber o-rings are shot the airbrush is not ruined, they are easily replaced. You have one in the head assembly, one in your air valve, and one in the handle...if your getting anything in the air valve then you have a worn needle packing screw.
