DAG058 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I have recently purchased Humbrol Clear Coat Satin varnish. I'm planning on spraying it with an airbrush soon. Does anyone have any tips or advice when using it? How difficult is it to clean the airbrush after using it? And what do you use to clean the airbrush? On a similar note, what is best for cleaning Klear out of an airbrush? I'm wary that some cleaning products perish rubber and may eat at the o-rings in an airbrush. Many thanks in advance!

Cheshiretaurus Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I've airbrushed Humbrol clear coat a few times, can be thinned with white spirit. Klear - never airbrushed myself but believe it can be cleaned with water, windowlean, or ammonia. Humbrol clear, not much known but Ive found IPA seems to dissolve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Klear can be cleaned out of an a/b with meths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagRigger Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I use clearcoat as my preffered varnish - mixing matt / gloss to my preffered just off matt finish. I do thin it very heavily prior to spraying - slightly more then 50/50 and tend to use Revell thinners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
