Hey Ben thanks alot for all of the great information. Very much appreciated. I have found it hard to clean the inside of the nozzle and the hole on the end is so small. I tried soaking it in lacquer thinner but I still could not get all the gunk out of it. I'm pretty sure I will just go ahead and order a new needle and nozzle. I went over a year with no problems as I always cleaned the gun after using it. I think I am going to start taking the whole thing apart after each use to clean it.....Lesson learned LOL Thanks Again, Ross

Thanks Guys. Ben what type of jewelry cleaner? Do i need any type of special cleaning tools? That nozzle hole is so small i was trying to use a toothpick but even that was to big and i seemed to just block the hole up more Thanks again---Ross

Hi, I am new to this forum Tom Stinson recommended it to me. I started airbrushing my own musky lures last year with an iwata eclipse hp-cs. Have not had any problems with it until now. I would clean it regularly with lacquer thinner but over the winter I had some build-up in the nozzle so the paint would not spray through very well. What is the best way to clean and maintain airbrushes?? I also think I may have damaged the needle so I think I will need to order a new nozzle and also a new needle. Any info on how to prevent problems/clean/any general information on airbrush use will be greatly appreciated. Thank You
