Airbrush Training Video #2: Cleaning & Maintaining Your Airbrush

Airbrush Training Video #2

Cleaning & Maintaining Your Airbrush





This is video #2 in the Face To Face With Violett Airbrush Training. This video goes over 
how to clean and maintain your airbrush. This is the most important thing to know as an 
airbrush artist. No matter how great of an artist you are, if your gun isn't properly cleaned 
and maintained it can ruin your career in one job.


Tools & Supplies Needed:

Airbrush cleaning brushes


Make sure to get these brushes. I've used the Dinair and Temptu brushes as well
as dozens of others and they all fall apart and don't fit all the way through
the brush.

Airbrush cleaner


To save money just get the gallon size. You can refill a bottle to bring with you.
For the Dinair Glamour/Colair use this particular cleaner but if you're using a different 
brand/formula of airbrush makeup use that specific cleaner.


Alcohol


I use this to clean out the Dinair Paramedical because it's alcohol-based product and you
need to clean it with alcohol.

Pointed Cotton Swabs


Use these to clean out your airbrush's cup and the tip of the nozzle cap.

Airbrush Wrench


To properly clean the nozzle you'll need to remove it. To do that you'll need a
wrench specially designed for Dinair or Temptu airbrushes. The temptu
brushes come with them but not the Dinair brushes. You'll have to actually call 
them to get one. 

There are many other tools and supplies for airbrush cleaning but these are what I've found
work the best. I've even tried the Dinair Ultrasonic Cleaner and that really didn't do a whole
lot and I felt like I wasted a ton of money.
