I am new to air brushing and I have a couple of questions. Why do u need so many holes and why do u need a filter?

If you airbrush away from your kitchen sink, you will probably enjoy having one. It saves me a lot of work!

Let me talk to Hillary The Cookie Countess. I haven’t used that product and since she carries the Dinkydoodle line, she might be able to get some answers for us.

I don’t blame you on not going through that process every time either. I like easy peasy. I will say I love the DD colors. I haven’t had any trouble with them but let me see what I can find out about the Liquid Shiny for you.

Hi. Thanks for your reply!
Liquid shiny is their product with is a clear protection layer and then if you do repeat sprays you can get a great gloss effect. I used it fine the first time. Cleaned my airbrush as normal by running water through (as instructed by dinkydoodle). It’s clear so hard to know when it’s clean with liquid shiny. Came to use my airbrush the next day and the needle wouldn’t move (so obviously did a very bad job of cleaning it!!). Ran hot water through it and needle moved fine and sprayed fine. Put more liquid shiny in to go again and it was like my airbrush just seized immediately. I left it on hot water for an hour or so and then took it apart completely. Still to put it back together. Will try running the vodka through it. The liquid had left like a cloudy gum type of residue all over the cup and gun through to the needle. Love the product but am not sure I’m prepared to go through this each time I use it!!

Hey Jules!

I bought some Dinkydoodles from The Cookie Countess the other day and used them right away. I was a little worried when I looked in the cup of the airbrush gun because the color dried right away. I stopped and put the color back into the bottle and washed the gun with water, then vodka and finally I took a Qtip with vodka and cleaned the entire airbrush (in the cup and around the needle) and it worked fine. I wasn’t having a problem before I washed it, I just freaked out a little when I saw Wendy (my airbrush has a name) with color on her that didn’t seem to come off easily.

Now let’s try to fix your issue. I have some questions for you so I can help figure it out.

1. Is your gun working or is it spitting colors?
2. I have not tried the Pearl colors yet. Is ‘Liquid Shiny” the name of the color or is it a pearl color?
3. Did you wash it with vodka?
4. Have you seen this video: http://thebearfootbaker.com/2015/10/airbrush-gun-replacement/ on how to take the gun apart and clean it and then put it back together?

If you answer these questions for me I will know a little more and maybe we can fix it together. 😉
Don’t stress! I bet this will be a pretty simple fix.

I am glad you feel like you are here with me! I feel like you are here in my kitchen having coffee with me!!!

I think coffee filters are a great idea. If you try it let us know how it works and what a great use for all of those filters. I mean really, how many coffee fliter wreaths can we make! LOL

If you click the red links in my post here you can order one for less than $25. Here are the links for you. 🙂
