Cheap cleaning station

[AndreZA]

Yes you can pay alot for a proper cleaning station but here is mine. Made it from an empty powdered energy drink container, a piece of garden hose, washing up rag and some cable ties.

1. cut halfmoon in lid.
2. drill hole for hose.
3. stick hose through hole and secure top and bottom with cable ties. Tip for cutting hose: depending on your airbrush, cut it at an angle to so that it can accommodate the paint cup/inlet. For suction feed, cut top deeper, for syphon feed, cut bottom deeper.
4. line inside of lid with dish rag. fold over 2 or three times. Will need to cut hole for hose.
5. screw on lid. this will secure the rag "filter".

Sure looks good guys. My airbrush can't stand in mine like yours JoHall because it's too high. I like yours it will fit nicely into my paint trolley.
