    What the hell where you doing !!! :)

    Pick a medium and when your done clean and use the next :)

    jeesh

    Well if you used tamiya paint use tamiya thinner. Take the ENTIRE airbrush apart and let it soak overnight. then with a cotton swap stick try to force the excess paint out of the shaft and other tubes.

    DONT rush it it will take time but you should get it clean.

    Just make sure you use the thinner that goes with the paint.

    I think the tamiya thinner will work on all the liquids you used

    Hey, i didn't use those three mediums at the same time! They were all on separate occasions, and I cleaned it out after each use. I think I just didn't clean well enough after the Createx that I probably didn't use enough thinner with.

    lol the way you made it sound...... :)

    Its definitly hard to help not really knowing anything about the airbrush. brand, model etc...

    But most come apart.

    Just do like I do when I get lazy and dont clean out my AB good.

    Put on some music and spend some time cleaning it out like your a marine cleaning out his weapon.

    Its therapeutic :)
