I've always found the thorough cleaning of an airbrush nozzle to be a fiddly and a bit of a hit and miss affair. Came across these absorbent paper points and these make the job a whole lot easier. They're cheap, made of strong paper and come in a variety of sizes, size 15 being the one I most commonly use. They're tapered at one end and go into the nozzle very easily, a few twists and the job is done and no chance of damaging the nozzle either... perfect. Some may find these useful so thought I'd share...

Regards

Alan

That's a really useful tip there Alan.
Although I am not currently using a spray gun, it will sit in my memory bank for future modelling.
