Things I learned today:
1) how to take care of my brush
2) That airbrushes have been around for over a century??? WOW!

I just bought my first airbrush and this is the first video I have watched to take care of it. This is the perfect video for a noobie like me.

That soothing PBS voice.

Good stuff.

Perfect, I think you have highlighted all my questions about my Iwata brush and confirmed the pulsing I have with my SBS. I bought new seals today and your video has confirmed I did the right thing 🙂 Thank you.

this channel is super underrated. this video was the most informative and thorough one ive seen about airbrushes.

Thank you for the informative and detailed video. I have to share that my user manual (Badger airbrush) suggests to pull the needle out by pushing it through the front. This is to avoid pulling in any residual paint, or dried paint crumbs inside the teflon seal, where it creates problems and damages the seal. I find this a very useful tip!

This is the best airbrush maintenance video on YouTube or anywhere.

The trigger on my Iwata HP-CS had been sticking even after careful cleaning and sending it into Iwata to have it professionally cleaned. I use the blue super lube on the trigger assembly after careful cleaning. I bet that is the root cause. Thank you Paul!

Great video. Now I can stop tearing mine apart after every use. I do use delicate methods tho. Being an engineer for 10 years did teach me something🤣

Most helpful video by far!!!
I gained a very thorough and proper understanding of what I was doing wrong and why not to do it.
Thank you!
Side note
.....you could replace the main narrator for Ken Burn's documentaries and no one would ever notice.

So many tips that were things I was doing wrong! And what I love is that you explain what happens when you do something wrong. e.g. "don't slam the needle in the airbrush, it can bend/split the nozzle" I always pushed the needle in thinking a better seal was better!

Such a nice informative video! This is great, not clickbaity entertainment but well-presented education on a topic!

Full pack information 😮
Thank you sir 🫡

When I was looking to buy an airbrush, my number one requirement was that it had to be easy to clean and have replaceable seals. I settled on a H&S Evolution CR Plus It can be broken down fully in less than a minute thanks to the nozzle being clamped down by the aircap which has very large threads compared to other airbrushes. Every seal besides the aircap and air valve oring is made out of teflon which has great chemical resistance.

No nonsense video. Thank you!

Dr Budzik - Another tour de force that many will reference and find useful!

A quick tip if I may:  Have a set of stencil brushes, the short stubby ones, at the ready as they are great for getting into the color cup for cleaning.

Always a pleasure watching your videos, Paul! I'm one of the owners of a Badger 200 airbrush, so your explanation really helped; thank you very much!

The airbrush maintenance bible!!  Well done!!

Thanks Paul!  I'm new to airbrushing (haven't even used my HP-CS yet) so this is all excellent advice! Subed, and bookmarked for reference!

I just bought a Badger Patriot. I love it.

Thank you doc for the big afford of work, great teacher, to become a better modeller.

I’m new to airbrushing, this is very helpful. Thank you!
