Lou N Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 All, Just wondering if anyone is using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean their airbrushes? I found one that hold a bit over 2 pints that I think would be big enough. Thanks, Lou
Dr. Cranky Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Yes, I do, and they work great, but I have a very small unit that works like a charm.
Rob McKee Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Yes, I do, and they work great, but I have a very small unit that works like a charm. Interesting. I haven't heard of one of these used in the past. Where did you find your ultrasonic cleaner? What model is it? Thanks, Rob
scalenut Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 I saw one at Harbor freight yesterday ,I "think" it was priced around $60..I'll have to go back and get a closer look at it,
diymirage Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 i clean my airbrush on the same schedule as we do maintenance on the presses at my job...when it breaks down seriously though, i run a cup of laquer thinner through it when i first fire it up, when i change colours and when im done that is about the extend of my cleaning i have a paasche H series and it takes the abuse. i used to have a badger 150 and it would not put up with that type of treatment AT ALL
Lownslow Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 i recently picked one up and ill never go back to the old method
Lou N Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks guys, I think I'll pick up an ultrasonic cleaner. I really dislike cleaning my airbrush the old fashion way.
Rob McKee Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks guys, I think I'll pick up an ultrasonic cleaner. I really dislike cleaning my airbrush the old fashion way. I agree, if this works well it would save me a ton of time.
Rob McKee Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I agree, if this works well it would save me a ton of time. Maybe I will try this idea.
Skydime Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I found two at Harbor Freight. one was $75 and one was $25. They are on this page: http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?keyword=ultrasonic
Tonioseven Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I think I'm gonna invest in an ultrasonic cleaner. Currently I just shoot some lacguer thinner through my Paasche H after I'm finished spraying with it. My Iwata seems to be a bit more temperamental so I have to completely disassemble it to clean it.
saltflat1 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I believe E-Bay has a seller ,Possibly (Shining Image ) that list sonic cleaners for about $40.00 . Large tank , brand new free shippiing.
tabsscale1 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Yes, I do, and they work great, but I have a very small unit that works like a charm. So what do you use in it to clean your airbrushes? Lacquer thinner or water Or what? Thinking of buying one for myself for Christmas
