🎯 Where to Apply It

💬 Straight Answers About Airbrush Lube

🤔 Do I actually need this stuff?

If you're getting paint buildup on your needle tip (dry tip) or your trigger feels stiff, yes. If your airbrush is working fine, you can skip it. It's maintenance, not magic.

⏰ How often should I use it?

After thorough cleaning sessions or when you notice the trigger getting stiff. For most users, that's weekly to monthly depending on usage. Don't over-lubricate.

🎨 Will it affect my paint?

No. It's designed not to interact with paints. Won't cause fish-eye effects or change paint properties. That's why it's silicone-free.

🔧 Can I use it on non-Iwata airbrushes?

Yes, it works on all brands. Badger, Harder & Steenbeck, Chinese airbrushes - doesn't matter. It's about the seal materials, not the brand.

⏳ How long does 2ml last?

Several weeks to a few months for most users. You only need tiny amounts - a drop or two per application. Perfect for trying out or as emergency backup.

🧼 Is it easy to clean off?

Yes, washes off with normal airbrush cleaner or even water. Doesn't leave residue that interferes with paint flow.

🛢️ Can I use regular oil instead?

Don't. Regular oils can damage rubber seals and affect paint. Machine oil, sewing machine oil, WD-40 - none of these are designed for airbrush seals.

🌬️ Any smell or safety concerns?

Practically odorless and non-toxic. No special ventilation needed. Much safer than many alternatives people try to use.

📋 How to Use It Properly

Clean thoroughly first

2

Apply tiny amounts

one small drop goes a long way

3

Focus on the needle

4

trigger mechanism and any pivot points

5

Work the action

trigger a few times to distribute the lube

6

Wipe excess

you want lubrication, not a coating
