Hi Lisa,

Thank you for sharing. I learned how to clean my gun from the manufacturer and he is amazing!

If anyone has tough questions about their airbrush systems, I refer them to the manufacturer because they are so much smarter than I am! LOL

The pieces are exactly the same. The manufacturer of my airbrush system recommends that you unscrew the plastic handle on your stylus/gun, loosen the retaining nut at the very end of the stylus/gun and pull out the needle carefully. Clean it carefully by wiping it with a warm water soaked paper towel. I find if I don’t do this after every 5 or six uses, the stylus/gun will begin to spray unevenly. Back bubbling and rinsing with water or solution is not usually enough to keep it from clogging in the long term. I’m curious if your stylus comes apart at the base like mine does. If so try carefully removing the plastic base of the stylus/gun. It should screw off. Then remove the needle by loosening the retaining nut at the end of the mechanism (there should be 2 nuts. The retaining nut is the one at the very end. The nut that is closer to the little cup is for tightening the trigger in the event that it loosens) Loosen the reraining nut by a half turn; pull the needle out carefully, you dint want ti bend it. Clean the needle then carefully reinsert it into the stylus. Then you simply tighten the retaining nut a half turn. Do not tighten the nut any tighter than that.
This should keep your gun in working order for a ling time and keep the needle from gunking up.

I have been thinking about doing that. Thank you so much for your reply and for all of the great airbrush information you have compiled on here. You have taught me a lot!

Hi Kelly,
Can you contact the manufacture? They might be able to give you some suggestions. If you are having trouble, maybe others have had the same problem so they will know how to tell you to fix it.

Good luck!

I have the Master airbrushing kit and it is fantastic – when it works. I have really struggled with consistency in the spray. Today when I used it, the spray was sooooo heavy and left the cookies damp and sticky with the color! I have tried all the tips you suggested and I am curdling it right now. I am very frustrated and unsure what to do. I know there must be a solution but I can’t find it!!!!!

Hi Amy, try running some vodka throgh it. If that doesn’t work, you may want to contact the company that makes it. It should have worked more than one day!!!

I was getting air but there was no color coming out. I did remove the parts you showed and soaked them in water with the airbrush gun and then tried it again. Nothing. I will try your instructions and pray it works. Am itching to get it working so i can use it regularly.
