🎨 Paint Type Effectiveness Guide
| Paint Type | Effectiveness | Recommended Use | Safety Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enamel Paints | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | Primary application | Well-ventilated area |
| Lacquer Paints | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | Ideal for automotive | Extra ventilation |
| Oil-Based | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good | Dried oil residues | Test on plastic first |
| Dried Acrylics | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good | Stubborn buildup | May damage seals |
| Fresh Water-Based | ⭐⭐ Overkill | Not recommended | Use milder cleaners |
⚠️ Equipment Compatibility & Precautions
✅ Safe for Metal Components
Excellent with stainless steel, brass, and chrome-plated airbrush parts. Will not damage metal components.
⚠️ Test on Rubber & Plastic
Some rubber seals, O-rings, and plastic components may be damaged. Test first, especially on older airbrushes.
💡 Modern Airbrush Compatible
Most modern airbrushes (Iwata, Harder & Steenbeck, Badger) use solvent-resistant seals and are fully compatible.
💡 Professional Usage Tips & Best Practices
🔬 Test First: Always test on older airbrushes with rubber seals. Some vintage components may be damaged by strong solvents.
⏱️ Contact Time: Light blockages: 5 minutes. Severe buildup: 15+ minutes. Worse blockage = longer contact time needed.
🧼 Follow-Up Essential: Always flush with regular cleaner after use. Residual solvents can damage seals over time.
📦 Storage Wisdom: Store upright in cool, dry place. Check nozzle isn't blocked before storage.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this for regular daily cleaning?
No, definitely not. This is an emergency cleaner for serious blockages. Daily use would be overkill and potentially harmful.
Will this damage my expensive airbrush?
Not if used correctly. Modern airbrushes handle solvents well. Always test rubber parts first and flush thoroughly after use.
How often should I use Liquid Reamer?
Only when needed. Most users find they need it 2-4 times per year for deep cleaning or emergency rescue situations.
Why can't this be shipped by Royal Mail?
Safety regulations. Classified as hazardous goods (UN 1950) due to pressure and flammable contents. Courier delivery ensures proper handling.
🚨 Professional Emergency Use Only
Not for daily use. This is a specialised rescue product for serious blockages when regular cleaners have failed. Always prioritise safety and proper ventilation.
Notes · Q & A
What nozzle size do I need for miniatures?
0.3mm is the versatile all-rounder for base coats and priming; 0.2mm suits fine detail work. Larger nozzles (0.5mm) are for terrain and big surfaces.
Do I need a compressor with a tank?
A tank smooths the airflow and reduces pulsing, giving more consistent results — worth it if you spray regularly, but tankless compressors work fine for occasional use.
How do I keep an airbrush working well?
Flush with airbrush cleaner between colours and strip-clean after each session. Most spraying problems are cleaning problems.
