Paint stopped flowing

[LMdesigns]

Hey guys.
Im using a Iwata eclipse hp-cs airbrush and wicked paint. Today i used the paint highly reduced to get a good flow. After just a few minutes the paint completly stopped flowing. It wasnt acting quite right last time i used the brush so i took it apart completly and gave it a good clean.
I cant see anything wrong with the needle or nozzle. Could it just be a clog in the brush causing the paint flow to stop? Any ideas?

Thanks /Linda-Marie

You have a clog. What are you using to soak the nozzle in?
Lowrider made a post about he uses denatured alcohol . Which I have gave a go and it does work great.
I use the restorer made by Createx and it also works great.
But I have learned that just because the needle goes through the nozzle does not always mean paint will .

I say give the nozzle a good soaking for an hours or so than give it another go.

Herb,

Joking aside ... would moonshine work? I make ethanol "fuel" with my still and it comes out at around 96%. :unconscious:
