Sometimes even an All-Star airbrush like the Eclipse CS can have problems. You might see bubbles in the colour cup, a diminished spray pattern or maybe your airbrush won’t spray at all. Luckily nearly all airbrush issues can be resolved with a thorough cleaning session. In this video Iwata show you how to give your Eclipse CS gravity-feed airbrush a deep clean that will get you spraying again.
We decided to make a video especially for the Eclipse CS because of its unique compression fit nozzle. It is important to know how to remove and clean this nozzle properly to avoid damaging the part.
You’ll see in the video that we soak the nozzle, nozzle cap, air cap and needle cap in Medea Airbrush Cleaner. This helps break up dried paint and makes it easier to scrub off. But please do not soak, immerse or “wet dock” your entire airbrush in any liquid. Ever. This can cause more problems than it solves.
If you have a different airbrush model than the Eclipse CS, be sure to check out all of our Cleaning & Maintenance Tutorials as we might have a video specific for your Iwata.
