All airbrushes and paints result in tip dry and clogging EVENTUALLY. Is that a fair statement?
If so, what would you say is a reasonable amount of time one should go between clogs and cleaning for (1) tip dry and (2) any type of internal cleaning, even if only flushing with water.
As some of you will recall, I've had terrible problems with that. Since I started, I've increased that time quite a lot but I still think I should do better. Tipdry, especially, has been much reduced by changing paints so that now only internal clogs in the tip or spray head is happening a little too frequently. So has using Medea cleaner. That stuff is really good, even works well on paint dried on brushes and spills.
Ya know, cleaning liquids in bottles is one of the biggest retail scams going as no one product is any better than any other and some are downright useless. With that in mind I resisted buying brush cleaner until desperation moved me. This is for any noobs out there with the same thoughts. If you haven't bought any yet, be sure to do so, otherwise you're really missing out.
