Hi, I am new to this site and airbrushing and I need a little advice. I was given a compressor and 2 airbrushes for christmas. Both air brushes are chinese. one is a side gravity fed and the other is siphon feed. My problem is with the gravity fed airbrush, I searched online on how to clean the airbrush which involved removing the nozzle cap and nozzle and drawing the needle from the front of the airbrush but after a couple of time the seals are stretched. So I bought some seals online, trying to do things cheap and bought some cheap ones, it didn't work and I broke the nozzle so I bought a new one with the seal attached. I went back online and followed Iwata instruction which are better and I was able to clean the airbrush then draw the needle out the rear of the airbrush to clean that, however I started getting bubbles back in the cup again and it looks like the seal for nozzle is breaking up after only two uses. I am using white spirit to clean the airbrush after using enamels and then washing through with water. Is the white spirit damaging the seals because this is ridiculous if I have to replace seals after every two uses.
Thanks Baz
