Clean up day takes a bloody long time when you got more than 1 brush to do

Try doing 6 at once. Its a balancing act to not mix up parts, especially when similar brushes have different nozzle/needle sizes, add to that differing makes and it's a hell of a good time.

Does having 8 make it too many? Oh wait 9 if I count an old badger 350 that was given to me and i have never used.

Adam, I have a tip for your once a month......Use a sonic cleaner bro :angel:

 

[Carnun]

What is the liquid you are bathing your brushes in? And for how long? Cheers

I just used warm water with a good slug of ammonia free windex... I left it in there an hour just to soften paint up then have them a good scrub.... this is all I had to hand but I would recommend airbrush restore by createx... you can reuse the same solution again and again

Currently...I am residing in the Netherlands, and no real plans on leaving in a hurry. If they keep having summers like they have had this year... then it will all be good!

Why, what's so special about cleaning a micron? The only thing I remove is needle and head. And I then remove the needle through the front, clean, lube and back in from the back. Do that a few times and your needle pack gets cleaned without dragging dirt through the innards. And if you've ever had an old Badger, you know the trick in getting the back lever in when needs to.

Just finished cleaning 9 of them....3 hour job, but yet i couldn't be bothered with the last 2 i own. Maybe its better to clean out the worst part right after quit for the day....gotta teach myself to do this !

No Deffo not too many, I'm in double figures and still looking . I only use 2 at a time though to keep cleaning to a minimum.

I have at times had 5-6 going all with a different color, made switching back and forth so much easier, but 2 at a time is about where I usually go too.
