Hi folks.
I wonder if someone could help with a problem I run into every time I clean out the brush.
When I've done with what I'm using I flush it through with airbrush cleaner, Valejo, get it as clean as I can with a gentle rub round with a cotton bud while I'm emptying it, then do the same with some Isoprop. I repeat this a couple of times with a bit of blowback, and from what I gather from every cleaning youtube this should do.
But, during this process I get loads of balled up dry lumps of paint, the needle is coated in ever thinned paint which pushes up towards the trigger valve.
Should I not clean with cleaner and iso? One or the other? And if paint is getting to places it really shouldn't (only working from my own common sense) do I need a new set of seals? The brush hasn't been used for very many hours, but it has been left a long time between uses.
All advice welcome.
Many thanks.
