I was taught airbrush basics by an old boss of mine. Instead of taking the airbrush apart every time he had me spray the brush cleaner through the airbrush (usually into that little container) and then do the same with some water. I'd also fill a cup with water and dunk the front of the airbrush in and blow bubbles to help clear the path too. It worked great. We only really took the airbrush apart to change needles if someone dropped it or the few times people used it but didn't clean it so it got really clogged. I'm sure that's not a very professional method, but it's definitely a time saver, especially for people afraid of taking the airbrush apart so much!
Thank you for this advice, this is the information I was looking for because there has been an easier, faster way to clean airbrushes, if that was the case having to take it apart and clean it every time to use a different color, it's just ridiculous.
Benni, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this video right now (even though I already watched it when it came out) because I got an airbrush for christmas that has been sitting around until almost a month later because I was so scared of trying it out since the instruction manual didn't cover anything like cleaning, so bless you (and Svetlana's advanced painting book) for helping a girl out! I was able to already create a decent gradient on my first try :D (let alone now blowing up the airbrush)
Wonderful! Haha yall are such goofballs and I love it! Thank you very much Benni for "not" being forced to do this. I got an air brush kit very close to yours and have never used it due to no experience. But I will now! 😎 again thank you!
Woah, I bought an air brush machine like a year ago, never used it until a few days ago. Gave up because my spray pattern is all over the place. Thanks for the video!
I've been painting with airbrushes for a good two years now and this has just blown my mind. I have so many problems cleaning my airbrush, I hadnt even thought about using a regular paintbrush to help. Thanks so much!
Benni, I’m not try to be negative, you’re presentation is very good and you give good explanation as well. Please don’t take this the wrong way. My only comment which is easy to correct is that you have two moisture traps on your compressor. One is a combination moisture trap and air regulator and then you have another moisture trap attached before you get to the hose. The second one should be at the air inlet or base of the airbrush. Let me explain why, when you compress air it gets hot and when air gets hot it can hold more moisture then at room temp. So the air coming out of the compressor is hot and depending on where you live or time of year, it will be full of moisture. By the time it passes through your moisture traps it has not had a chance to cool off and for the moisture to condense so it flows straight past both traps. As it flows in the hose it has a chance to cool down and release the trapped moisture as condensation on the inside of the cool hose. By placing the smaller moisture trap at the airbrush the moisture trap will do its job and stop the condensed water from going through the airbrush.
ah maaaan i just love your humor and energy! and also hats off for both of you talking in english even it's not your first language. keep doing your stuff its amazing and makes me laugh everytime with joy :)
As soon as I look for a solution to a problem, you leave a video that explains everything and helps me. You hit the bullseye every time, you must have a talent, or something like ^^
Thank you guys so much for making this video! I bought an airbrush 2 years ago and just got really frustrated with it and it had been living in my closet unused for the past two years. I decided to pull it out and give it another crack and it went perfectly!
I was waiting the whole time for you to write 'BUY MY BOOKS!' with the airbrush. Thank you for not disappointing 🤣 and thanks for the very informative, useful video.
This was great for me because I just got my first airbrush today in the mail. I had a few problems I think you've answered for me. Thanks man, I really appreciate it. You two keep this channel awesome. I love it. 😁
Thank you so much for this information. Just started out with airbrushing. Feel a bit more sure about using it with these tips! (always stuck to using brushes but after discovering new hobby (mini diorama's, miniatures and painting modells) airbrush has now has a place on my desk!
Wie immer sehr lustig produziert! Was mir gut gefällt ist, dass Ihr mit einem sehr günstigen Airbrush-Set arbeitet, dasselbe benutze ich auch (in doppelter Ausführung) und bin sehr zufrieden. Es muss auch beim Profi nicht immer das Teuerste sein, gerade wenn man oft sehr großflächig arbeitet.Toll, vielen Dank!
Hi Benny, my name's Chris & I just started airbrushing today for the first time.......I tried basic craft paint that I thinned with homemade airbrush thinner which I watched many other modelers make & I practiced on some foam core board. It's different & it takes some getting used to(like most things), I'm going to try it again for the next few days with different colors to get more comfortable. I build scale plastic model cars so I eventually will be spraying enamels & lacquers out of it, but I want to be comfortable when I attempt that. Your video was fun, helpful & informative & you have a great enthusiasm about you....which makes it easier to learn from you too, thanks much for the video......stay safe & God bless.
Thank you Benny! Would love to see more videos on your painting techniques, maybe some advanced airbrushing techniques. Thanks to both of you for the great content!
I sure wish you wouldn't have described the assembly of the air brush and had explained what you were doing and why as you both disassembled, and reassemble the gun ! plus how to adjust the needle setting and when to use different needles in the gun might have been kinda helpful ?
The humidity device 🙀 I would have never thought!! And I'm not gonna try to discredit Germany's humidity, but I'm averaging 60-80 year round!! This video is so helpful in ways I didnt know I needed!!!
Oh my goodness, ya'll made my day with this video! Not only is it informative, but it is also entertaining. I have never used an airbrush and am looking to start, so this was very helpful information for me. Thank you so much!
oh wow, actually started getting into airbrushing my cosplay stuff myself.... got an airbrush, wanted to check up on extra tips and tricks... i have the exact same timbertech airbrush set :P
@@dereksitko2622 yes thats correct. Its obviously most annoying in the summer, after about half an hour of almost constant use the compressor tends to become quite warm. The airbrush itself works lovely and although I'm sure there's better airbrushes out there, i would deffo recommend it to start with. As for the compresser overheating issues, I tend to make cosplay props as well as paint miniatures and i noticed that for larger props where you wanna airbrush a large surface, it's not the best fit and a better/larger compressor would be more suited, but for miniatures where you usually just prime/basecost a few at a time or use it for some shading and detailing it works quite well, since there's enough downtime for it to cool down. But as i mentioned, unless you live somewhere very hot, it should be able to handle 30ish mins of non stop abuse, which just means you need to take longer breaks between layers to ensure that not only the paint has dried (which doesnt take long with airbrushing IMO) but also so the machine cools down enough, so although it's far from perfect, its still doable and works well enough ^^ Hope this helps ^^
That feeling when you come to see a random airbrush video in English and right within first few seconds you hear the guy say your name several times😁 Thanks for the video though, it answered a lot of my questions.
This was such a great video, Benny! Blink twice if you need rescue. I've always been kinda nervous about airbrushes, no seriously are you ok, but this makes them look so much easier!
I have a question! Do I need good ventilation to paint with an airbrush? (I have a spare room in the cellar that I am thinking of converting into a hobby room, but I am worried that it's going to get really fumy in there and I end up having to cancel the whole project... are there fumes involved?)
It depends what paints and thinners you use. If you use the thinners shown in the video it wont be fumy. Lacquers and enamels are deadly. If you spray in a room for a long time you may find that a light paint film builds up in the surrounding area. Small particles of paint are bad to breath in, so I strongly advise wearing a mask. There are small, cheap spray booths that you can buy on Ebay if you have the cash and think you are going to do this again in the future. They are small though, so many projects wouldn't fit into them.
Yes you do need good ventilation when using an airbrush for long periods, also you should always wear a mask, whether you are spraying solvents or water base paints.
Brand of airbrush doesn't matter much, but if you want more control it's best to get a double action versus a single action. Also,if you plan on doing a lot of spraying or larger scale pieces ,you may want to look into syphon feed airbrush as it uses bottles and is less prone to spillage. Have a bottle assembly for each color you use and just clean between colors. For cleaning just have extra bottle filled with preferred cleaner.
@@johnlock637 Yes. I know all of that. I did my research and this is the only brand in my price range, that comes with a fitting compressor, is well-known enough to have easy room for upgrades, that ships to my location, that fits my needs and where I've been able to see people use it with good results.
Thank you so much for your video. I'm a mural artist been using brushes and thinking of going straight to airbrush to give the mural a professional look instead of stitchy job work horrible brush marks. I'm so going to get a airbrush as they are so much more neater to manage your work on walls. Thanks for sharing 👍
I just got an airbrush set for birthday from my son. With no description how to use and clean the pistol (or brush, or how ist is named). And than you posted this video just in time. OK I promise to buy the book as well.
Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased my first air brush kit and the manual wasn't very helpful. I'm a true beginner and not artistic so I'm starting with the portable set. This will help with my Halloween & Christmas projects. I had no idea what the needles were for or how to change them 🤪😱. I didn't buy the cleaning pot ....didn't get the point, now I understand. BRAVO to your wife for encouraging you to make this video & thanks again for making it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😃Now I can go play with my new toy with a little more confidence and understanding. ❤❤
What monsters downvoted this video? Unless downvoted because they'd rather see corgis. HA! Seriously though, loved this video. I have an airbrush and love it because I hate brushstrokes but have always struggled with variations and with cleaning. I primarily use the Createx paints. Never had issues with them EXCEPT for the opaque white color. Mine came way way too thick and it clogs my airbrush constantly. But also thank you for the clog clearing tip, I never knew you could do that! Keep making awesome stuff!
While it's good 'practice' to strip clean the brush often it's not necessary every time Benny, if you FLUSH the brush with water/alcohol/cleaner and your using your brush fairly often you should be able to get away with a strip clean once every few days.. Strip cleaning is normally because some one didn't flush the brush enough to clean paint from the needle and it's dried leading to blocking. The other thing is if your Stripping a brush to it's components ie pulling the needle EVERY time you should be also lubricating the needle (Glisarine works fine for that) but your adding risk to bend the needle every time you pull it (should be rotated when your doing it too btw). Another thing is too with the Cheaper brushes (and i know that kit i started with it myself ;) ) check the needle tip seal, it some times isn't the best and leaks air.. but if you can replace them or use plumbers tape (literally a single line) and that solves it.
Great video! I find buying small cans of spray paint much easier than all of the set up and and upkeep involved in owning a spray gun. of course, you dont get to mix paints etc however I can usually find colors pretty close to what I need.
Danke für das Video! :) Acrylic paints are really a blessing. When I think of the solvent based Revell paints from the 90s... it was a fight with the Air Brush. Each time disassemble and clean completely. Otherwise you had no chance.
Thank you so much for this video. Because of your work, I bought my first airbrush for my birthday. I have started using it today. It's taking so getting used to but I really like it.
das muss ich einfach los werden- ihr beiden passt zusammen, wie der deckel auf den topf! ihr habt das gleiche englisch und die gleichen gestiken. irgendwie lustig und schön zu sehen. da haben sich wirklich zwei gefunden. toll! macht weiter so!
artist like myself know how to erase brush strokes. 1. paint in thin layers going in 1 direction at first and every additional layer you change to a cross pattern direction. 2. once its completely covered, take a light grit sand paper and dampen it then run it over the top gently enough to flatten any lines. 3. touch up any areas that the sand paper may have removed color. 4. clear coat with a spray on finishing twice drying between the 2 coats. the paint will be protected and it will be nice and flat. its more work and takes much more time than airbrushing though. and a side note I prefer to use alcohol based paints rather than acrylic because they flatten easier, dry quicker, and have a better brighter color.

I thought it would be an absolute pain to clean it every time the colour gets changed.

Thanks. I took mine apart and now I’m struggling to get it back together. And it was only the first time I’d ever used it 🤦♀️
Now I feel way more relaxed before my first airbrush usage. On my final steps to my diy Paint booth from spare parts, too. Thank you silverdragon1313
Thank you so much!
Benny! blink twice if you are in any sort of danger or being held against your will.
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Wow
I love how you break things down simple and descriptive thank you I’m thinking about purchasing one. Yes and the book as well! Love you both!
Thank you so much *^* I'm currently struggling with my first airbrush. Your video came just in time
Always on time ;)
I was waiting the whole time for you to write 'BUY MY BOOKS!' with the airbrush. Thank you for not disappointing 🤣 and thanks for the very informative, useful video.
Hehe
this may sound a bit mad but i find listening to your videos really calming, as well as watching all the cool stuff you two make.
It's cold and it snowed last night and I'm watching your channel just to cheer me up. It's working!
Benny is the unsung hero
Oh he sings pretty often. Mostly in the car...
This was great for me because I just got my first airbrush today in the mail. I had a few problems I think you've answered for me. Thanks man, I really appreciate it. You two keep this channel awesome. I love it. 😁
This video actually answered a lot of questions I didn't even know I had about airbrushing. It just seemed like some complex machine
I am a simple girl...
I see Benny...
I instant like
Świetny kanał ^^ / Good channel ^^
I feel like Kamui Cosplay produces a new video every time I have a question about something and it’s almost freaky 😅
Amazing tutorial!!
Can't wait to get my airbrush and paint station set up. Thanks Benny!
Best Husbando 11/10
Best introduction to airbrush i've seen so far! Thanks a lot
Guys your work stands on its own. Don't need to over do the cuteness. really.
Thank you for the tutorial Benny I was needing something like this!
Benny videos are great, the corgis should also do a tutorial con how to be so cute (:
Bionicokura what do you think they would show us?
Step one: Be a corgi.
Step two: Success.
great timing! I just opened my new airbrush this morning.
3 years later and this video is still useful! Great job ! got this channel a follow :)
We don’t deserve you, Benni. T^T
He is the hero the world needs, but not the one, we deserve.
I’m grateful TwT
@AW Ames your a stupid ass ashole
Another great video Benny, I need to get an airbrush to make better models haha

thanks this helped me a lot i started air brushing today and this was very help full
SEND HALP FOR BENNI! I REPEAT, SEND HALP! XD hahaha
great video I'm in the middle of the learning curve atm so this really helps!

Mostly LUKAS Spray Varnish
Omg, I wish my husband helped me paint my projects! You are one of a kind Benny! Keep up being a great hubby 😊
This is awesome dude! I’m looking to buy a whole set up for airbrushing n this video was short n super helpful

Thank you for this. I was always afraid of using an airbrush but now I will definitely try it out
Thanks for the tips, I had to do a double take when I realized I have the same kit as you : )
Just got a Airbrush from my sister as a b-day present and this video was very helpful! Thank you a lot :)
That's a very useful present! :)
I love the idea of using an old cabinet for a spray paint/ air brush station
wow that blade looks awesome
Cleaning for changing colors seems very cumbersome. Thanks for this great video.
This has been such a huge help! I was nervous going into using mine but I feel more confident with this video thank you!
Benni definitely got brownie points for making this video
das muss ich einfach los werden- ihr beiden passt zusammen, wie der deckel auf den topf! ihr habt das gleiche englisch und die gleichen gestiken. irgendwie lustig und schön zu sehen. da haben sich wirklich zwei gefunden. toll! macht weiter so!
Ein effizientes Team! ;-)
artist like myself know how to erase brush strokes.
1. paint in thin layers going in 1 direction at first and every additional layer you change to a cross pattern direction.
2. once its completely covered, take a light grit sand paper and dampen it then run it over the top gently enough to flatten any lines.
3. touch up any areas that the sand paper may have removed color.
4. clear coat with a spray on finishing twice drying between the 2 coats.
the paint will be protected and it will be nice and flat. its more work and takes much more time than airbrushing though.
and a side note I prefer to use alcohol based paints rather than acrylic because they flatten easier, dry quicker, and have a better brighter color.
Could yall do a video on airbrush body paints!? That would be super awesome. Your priming videos were so helpful
