Is water and air safe and ready to use.

Questions & Answers

What are your options a enamel paints?

Nope, it's for acrylic paint; I did it for another application.

It comes out of the air whenever I turn on my spray foam. This has not happened to anyone else. ?

What exactly is that smell? I wonder if it's fire and not bubble?

Is it possible that this cleaner will paint arket lacquer paints too?

Neither it nor its bottle specifically mentions it for cleaning lacquer. The most effective way of getting the job done well is to fill the reservoir a couple times with lacquer thinner. This will expel both air and lacquer paint while maintaining a clean look. Despite their hard tip, the needles are tough enough not to be removed. As a result, if you are unable to reach the needle, it could need to be cleaned.

Is there any type of paint this will d paint will this work on? Enamels and/or lacquers, as opposed to lacquers, or just acrylics?

I tried Iwata online while unsure about myself. Iwata - "Iwata is derived from a series of mathematical expressions". Use of Medea Airbrush Cleaner is restricted to paints, inks, dyes, and other fluids whose primary ingredients are acrylics. Preservatives will be used for lacquer in enamels and lacquers in acetone. These are what has worked well for airbrush painters throughout history. There is no way for regular paint thinner to be as strong as solvent-based paint if there has been dry time. You should try getting the Iwata. Nevertheless, Medea Airbrush Cleaner works well in acrylics with foam. Using a cleaning jar or a lid should be avoided when applying lacquer thinner, as it may cause breathing and skin irritation.

Makeup artists for air travel - Here's what to watch
4/5

The first thing you need to read is this. I am an aerosol makeup artist. I use this cleaner when I need water-based makeup. If you plan on using silicone-based cosmetics, the proper cleaner or 99% isopropyl alcohol should be used and then rinsed out.

I really like how it works
5/5

It really breaks down the paint as it gets into the cup or by the needle at the same time. Then pour this cleaner, then flush it out a couple times with water, then make sure you can see through it to the other end by rolling it around and pulling the needle back in. In the end, I'll throw out a pretty large amount, spray it out, and then take a piece of paper towel and wipe it away. You dip a cotton qtip into the solution, then work it around the needle when using some paints. Since this stuff is not used a lot it will also last a long time and does not take a lot of time to apply. Additionally, there is no smell to be had either.

It does well
4/5

Even though a great product works well, why can't they just place the label at ant over the instructions?.

Adapted from: Operates perfectly, thanks to its resealable cap and liquid contents
5/5

A bottle of this product hasn't leaked since it arrived on time. Users are able to squirt cleaner into dirty areas on the airbrush with the help of the squirter tip being turned one way when the cleaner is being used. Upon the user spraying the cleaner, the tip may be turned back in order to prevent evaporation or leakage; the tip should then be closed. translucent bottle makes the information about a product's usage and quantity available to its intended audience. As the liquid helps clean up nozzle portions, it improves the cleanliness.

This works nicely for simple colors
4/5

It takes a few seconds to exchange and to receive. The process is easy. The colors that it produces are very easy to use with a simple formula. We can swap quickly and easily - in a second. A quick rinse makes it easy to carry out. If your enamel cup gets a little dried up in there, then I usually wipe it down with paint thinner right away. I typically repeat this cycle every time I use this on enamel. Although it's still ideal to spray, add colors, and move on. I will buy again soon.

The experiment works well
4/5

Once I got my reaction to some watercolor paints, I had no idea what was wrong. The Cleaner refused to come up with a solution for it and even with the brushes working on it he refused to interfere. As of now! It completely destroyed Acrylics and rolled them as if nothing had ever happened. I am still trying to come to terms with what occurred. Maybe it was the brand of paint that led to it. The air you use to run it through your airbrush should also be ventilation as you may choke on it if it is operated without a cleaning jar.

The product is very good, but not great
3/5

The most important problem is not using it. As a cap-incompatible tool, it's easy to use and it charges a bit, but with the price and concentration, it should suffice for doing so without damaging your skin. It is convenient for painting brushes, but it does need cleaning more often. If I wanted to clean a cup overnight, I would have to leave it in my cupboard. Generally, the general public seems to think it is a very elegant product, but it has less of a flair.

Use a q- If the make up does not clog with the tip, sprinkle a little water on it
4/5

The product works well, but does contain something that irritates the lungs. Fresh air or proper ventilation should be available to you. While I am a little surprised by how well it does, I found it interesting. A q-tip will loosen some of the bubbles, allowing it to rinse. Be sure to rinse your brush with distilled water while your brush is cleaned. Don't panic, as the face should easily drain after a few minutes.
