Hello there.
I recently bought a New replacement Iwata Eclipse (HP-CS).
I wanted to treat this one a bit better than the last one so I also bought some airbush brushes (ABEST 3 set airbrush)
For some odd reason, every time I use the airbush, it gets clogged, immediately.
I have used air brush cleaner, I have taken the needle out about ten or 20 times and wiped it down, I have taken out the nozzle, soaked it a few times, used the ABEST needle to take out any gunk and used a magnifying glass to check it for cleanness.
Disassembled the airush.
I am worried that using the brushes on it may have damaged it. It takes about two days of intermittent cleaning to be able to use it, and then, as soon as I have used one colour, it clogs up again and I have to go through the process (put paint in, clean it out, put air brush cleaner into it, however the airrush cleaner won't even spray out, do a deeper clean, but still nothing)
Or maybe my paints are too old. I bought them a while ago and (Vallejo game air). The black seems to be getting thicker and as such I don't use that in the airbush.
Essentially, has anyone had troubles with using airush cleaning kits, or might it be older paints? Or something else entirely?
