This review is from: Badger Air-Brush Co 175-7 Crescendo Airbrush Complete Set (Kitchen)

I use this airbrush for teaching high school students.
First I teach them to take it apart and put it back together ...over and over...until they can do it quickly.
THEN...after every painting session they take it apart- rinse it off --let the parts dry -and put it back together the next day.
With this teaching process, I have not had the problem of paint drying inside the gun and ruining the workings of the airbrush.
High school kids are not so good at cleaning the brushes...so this has helped me keep the airguns from being destroyed.(The auto collision teacher loses many brushes because his students don't clean them properly and the paint dries inside the brush...thus making it nearly impossible to repair or use).
This airbrush works well. If an airbrush isn't kept clean, that is when problems start.
I explain the "take it apart---after every session---let it dry after cleaning and rinsing--and put it back together at the beginnng of the next painting session."
I have learned this clean-up technique after many years of airbrush painting and teaching airbrush.
I do not think that blowing cleaner through the brush is enough. The needle can still have paint on it. I have learned all of this the hard way.
Many studetns come to me...MANY>>> with ruined airbrushes because they allowed the paint to dry inside the brush without cleaning!
This tool is too expensive to not clean and let be destroyed by a few seconds of laziness. Follow thru- clean it and it will last for a long time.

It is easy to use---it helps if you have an accomplished airbrush artist show you how to take care of the brush and how to control and utilize it.
That would make your frustration level, as a new airbrush artist,so much easier to bear. As someone that has made many mistakes with airbrushes in the past, I know a little instruction goes a long long way.
