Tamiya 87089 Airbrush Cleaner 250ml, 87089

Product Information

I use an Ultrasonic cleaner for my airbrushes(I have two Apex, and an H and S Evolution I add a little windscreen wash fluid, never had any problems.

First I flush out with two or three cups of water with compressor as high as possible. Preserves airbrush cleaner. One problem I had was the garage door which fitted in only various places allowing wind thro agitating dust. I just need a dedicated spray room. Mmm flat balcony na Pauline needs it for her plants. Tut what to do what to do I don't recommend flushing Tamiyas through with water.....I use Revell Aqua Cleaner or IPA to flush through until all paint is removed. I then flush through with water to finish off. There are a lot of different products that are suitable for cleaning an airbrush. These range from name brand products made by the same companies that make airbrushes and airbrush paint, to run of the mill household items that you probably already have under the sink or in the garage.So bedroom 2, 9*11ft. Model room with secondary use during night pull out bed. I can dream (Dart Herald nightmare) among my models. For cleaning out the brush, after every session, I use Spraycraft or Liquid Reamer cleaner from an aerosol can. I think they are essentially the same product and are quite strong. As a final part of the process, I then spray some tap water through the brush to clear out any remaining cleaner. even the paint reservoir and a cotton bud took some effort, doesnt look like it did when it was brand new just prior to this test. Quite a range there.... I was also told to use Nail paint remover, so another vote for Acetone. Acetone seems a good start point, "shiny shiny" suits me....Also told to use car windscreen cleaner. Found there was a blob of paint very visible on the needle part way through spraying, 2 parts paint 1 part X20 thinners 20 psi.

A couple of years ago there were almost no alternatives to Tamiya’s extra-thin cement. But nowadays many companies dealing in the plastic scale modeling business have brought their own versions of extra thin cement. I have had no problem whatsoever using Tamiya acrylics through my H & B Evolution. I use both Tamiya and Xtracrylic thinners all the time - mostly Xtracrylic thinner - and that works well for me in making the Tamiya flow well through the brush. Pro tip: If you are planning to buy the original Tamiya Extra Thin, you may be able to save some money. As mentioned above, the cement is a simple mixture of butyl acetate and acetone. Curiously, Tamiya also has a product called Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner. And the airbrush cleaner is the exact same mixture of butyl acetate and acetone. Funnily enough, the 250 ml bottle of airbrush cleaner is cheaper than the 40 ml bottle of cement. Go figure. Of course, with the cleaner, you are not getting the fine brush in the lid of the bottle. A good way to save some money might be to buy one bottle of the Tamiya Extra Thin cement and then use the cleaner as a refill. Only one very big problem, the booth although its big it only just takes Darings hull, so KGV etc will not fit, aaarrrgghhAlways good to see this posted again. I have been using the airbrush cleaner as liquid cement for several years now and actually just refill the same old green top bottle with an eyedropper every so often from the airbrush cleaner bottle.
