looking for a ultrasonic cleaner to get my airbrushes cleaned out, as the needle sometimes sticks from paint I can't get out well enough.
Anyone recommended a good one?

Any ultrasonic jewelry cleaner will do. My suggestion would be to break down the airbrush and remove the O rings that are rubber from the trigger area (2 usually) and use a airbrush cleaning brush and some Createx restorer and run the brush through the open chamber and the rinse thoroughly with water. Don't use restorer on rubber O rings because it makes the rubber swell. Also do not soak the body of the airbrush because it can get into the air supply passage and very hard to get out. The nozzle and head you can soak. Rinse everything with water. Use a tiny dob of petroleum jelly on the trigger ring. Don't use super lube. It tends gum up over time.looking for a ultrasonic cleaner to get my airbrushes cleaned out, as the needle sometimes sticks from paint I can't get out well enough.

It seems to me that Badgers tend to suffer this problem pretty commonly. I'm not sure off the top of my head if anyone has come up with a fix for it...Thanks for the info.
I have a Iwata Neo and a Badger Krome.
On the Badger I took it apart to clean it. After putting it back together and pulling back on the trigger it won't snap back into it's resting position. Stays open. I have to push the back of the needle forward with my hand.
Thought maybe it was clogged up with paint and wasn't cleaned good enough. Maybe something is wrong with the brush?
