Hi folks,
When I started with the acrylic paint airbrushing thing back in the fall, I bought a small bottle of airbrush cleaner (Createx brand).
It's just about out. I've been using water, which is "ok" (lowercase intentional) but the cleaner I think has some alcohol and maybe some ammonia or something and it does a much better job of dissolving the acrylic crud and flushing it out.
The Createx stuff is pretty dear, is there some cheap substitute I can buy or mix up by the pint for pennies? I was thinking to experiment with a mix of water / isopropanol. But I figured I'd check here first. Just want to make sure I don't damage the airbrush, or leave residues that will muck up subsequent painting.
Thanks
Marc
