Beware Culose Thinners and Valejo or Xtracrylix acrylic paint
This indicates that actually mixing Vallejo acrylic paint with Cellulose Thinners (which must have happened in this poster's case) causes trouble. My mystery (in my original post above) is that I cleaned out the AB very well indeed after using the Vallejo acrylic paint before using the lacquer (Cellulose Thinners-based), followed by thorough cleaning with the C. Thinners, then cleaning with the normal Vallejo AB fluid, setting the AB aside for about 6 weeks before using the Vallejo acrylic paint which is when the major blocking happened.
Did you flush the airbrush with water after using the cellulose thinner Steve? If not, perhaps that's the cause where the residue of cellulose thinner has reacted with the Vallejo airbrush cleaner.

Well! So the Vellejo cleaner itself might have reacted with the C. Thinners. I hadn't thought of that! Thanks.
