CLEANING AND LUBRICATION Using KOPYKAKE Airbrush Cleaner submerge all pans' except the needle, in a glass or metal pan for a few minutes then scrub with a small paint brush until all color has been removed. Clean especially the color cup (4) THE AIRBRUSH COLORING GOES IN THIS CUP. Make sure you have a good liquid flow out of where the nozzle connects. Use a Q-tip to scrub the walls and to reach into the color cup. Rinse the parts with hot water and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Clean the needle with airbrush cleaner and check the point to make sure there is no damage. Look at the point of the needle for a bend or hook. Using a white piece of paper and placing the needle on it and rolling it will make it easier to see if damage exists and needs to be replaced.
