cone gets clogged all the time and the usual culprit. I leave my paint up stairs in heat but when I go to paint I bring down into a cold basement and have no problem, other than being a hack at painting. Unscrew the front part and take cone off clean out and clean needle too. I have to do it all the time as my paints are getting old and have lumps and crap in them, but I'm used to it. Like I said I'm a hack.

for cleaning use the Bernzy solution of Simple Green, Windex, and water. In thirds i think. I make a gallon at a time. Go to BJ's and get a gallon of each and mix up a gallon or 2. Pick your self up a couple of these as they are great to push that above solution thru the gun at the pick up and push thru the cone too. A must have IMO.

I'm with you Paul. Also be careful using acetone or lacquer thinner on your airbrush, the seals are solvent RESISTENT not proof, I messed one of my brushes up pretty good by soaking it in laquer thinner for too long.

25% Simple Green, 25% Windex, 50% Water I believe is the mix ratio.

That is the correct formula.

Hey Larry,

Doing well and trying to get back into plug building mode after a couple of rough winters, health-wise.

Hope all is well with you and yours.
