FAQ: GOLDEN Airbrush Acrylics
GOLDEN AIRBRUSH ACRYLICS
Cleaning:

Are there any recommended cleaning procedures when swapping between cellulose based products and GOLDEN Airbrush Colors in the same airbrush gun. I am finding clogging problems.
Depending on the spray equipment being used, you may wish to try spraying some acetone through the gun after the (nitro lacquer?) cellulose products. Be very careful when doing this as it's highly flammable. Also, don't do this if the gun has any rubber "O" rings in it, as most of these are not solvent resistant and will soften, swell and crack. Additionally, after cleaning the spray gun, be sure the nozzle and needle are very clean and be sure to lubricate the needle with a silicone or Teflon lubricant.
