Alan My problem is - I am a living room kit builder I am about 15 feet away from the admiral who has breathing issues from anything smelly, Even when I used to use tamiya rattle cans out side she could smell them - thats why I decided to make all my painting Acrylic and never use any other paint format, infact I have a stash of Tamiya rattle cans that need binning. Painting my figures has/is an Absolute delight as brushing on my acrylic paints has Zero affect on either of us - I was hoping uisng an airbrush with the same paints would be the same - that is why I brought it.

king derelict Posted August 3, 2021 Share #106 Posted August 3, 2021 I'm a novice at airbrushing so I'm happy to be contradicted here. I use Vallejo acrylic thinner and it seems to work well with the Tamiya and AK acrylics I use. It is low odour too. I learnt that keeping the nozzle nice and clean is a big contribution to a decent paint session. I think you can use window cleaner or Chlorox cleaner too instead of the proprietary stuff. I haven't got brave enough to try that yet. I'm getting results that I am happy with, certainly much better than the brush but I still have a lot of learning to do.

lmagna Posted August 3, 2021 Share #107 Posted August 3, 2021 I have often used window cleaner to do the initial cleaning of my airbrush when using acrylics. You may have an issue with the slight ammonia odor though. I then follow it up with water, sometimes hot, (Out of the faucet, not stove hot) and sometimes cold depending on how lazy I'm feeling. I have very seldom had to use much thinner or cleaning solvent. I have only had to remove the tip to clean inside a couple of times so far but then I really have only used it in my Huey build. Not exactly the heavy use Craig and Greg get out of theirs. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king derelict Posted August 3, 2021 Share #109 Posted August 3, 2021 There are a wealth of videos out there some, of course, better than others. I watched one in my early days which recommended that you dilute your stock paint in the bottles. I have read subsequently that will ruin the paint quickly. I have also seen it stated that Hoppes (gun oil) should be used as part of cleaning the airbrush. I think the experts here are the source of quality advice.

Canute Posted August 3, 2021 Share #111 Posted August 3, 2021 I use the thinner for the brand I'm using for thinning/conditioning the paint. Some paints curdle with generic thinners. Additional ingredients in the proprietary thinner? Cleanup is a different matter. The branded thinners aren't cheap, but you can use some homemade cleaning thinners. Here's one take on a homemade thinner for acrylics: https://www.cybermodeler.com/tips/thinner.shtml My blogpost here has a link to a model RR site with another brew for homemade thinners.
