Between Coats Cleaning

[AlanG]

I bought Vallejo and Revell airbrush cleaners in the past but now i buy 1 litre bottles of 99.9% IPA. Far cheaper compared to the previous two. For cleaning Tamiya paints from my brush i still like to put Tamiya cleaner through it.

Tamiya does seem to prefer its own cleaners and thinners but I have a huge bottle of IPA so I will use that with my Vallejo Air

I've been meticulously cleaning my airbrush after spraying even if I return an hour later. Maybe I'm weird but I actually really enjoy the cleaning and it's nice to see the brush clean and shiny. I think it's my old apprentice training of cleaning all the sparks tools at the end of the day kicking in.

You'll probably hear different but, I give it a clean after each use, between coats if its within 15 minutes not so important any longer and I often leave for a bit, other jobs to do around the house, so I like to clean it and it's ready for next time, mines a H & S Infinty crplus and I can do a full clean in 10 minutes so a quick clean, needle, nozzle and cap etc can be done in minutes so to me its preferable, think I've waffled here but hopefully you'll get the gist.
