    Homemade airbrush holder/cleaning station

    Here's my homemade cleaning station!

    One 4 pint milk jug, some kitty litter, a filter & the AB holder often supplied with eBay kit.

    I cut a hole in the jug, epoxied the holder in place, filled it up 1/3 with kitty litter & used some paintbooth glassfibre filter material in the tube at the top.

    So far it works really well, no fumes whilst cleaning & all the fluids are soaked up by the litter.

    If anyone copies this, wet the litter a little before first use or it flies all round inside the jug!

      Very innovative, we don't have a cat could I use the litter from my daughters bedroom instead I would have a free neverending supply of that.

          @ Tony ha-ha Heath-Robinson is what

          I do best! I can't see why cotton wool wouldn't work just as well.

              Reminds me of the old saying

              "By the time I was old enough to realise that my father was right, my children were old enough to disagree with me "
