Thank you this video! I had bought one of these for my husband and he's been apprehensive in using his airbrush because he didn't know how to clean it and he's been dying to paint his minis. This helped beyond words and now he has confidence to finally paint them!
Thank you for the comment. It is always great to see some stuff I put out - actually helps someone. For what it's worth, I was reluctant to start airbrushing for couple months after getting my first Infinity airbrush. Soon after I broke and begun to try, my hobby became ridiculously easier. Seriously - if your husband is on the fence, he shouldn't. There's so much to be gained! Stuff that took hours can be done within minutes. Plus it's a lot of fun. GLHF to him and I hope he'll love the airbrush, just as I do.
haha, late comment. My wife did the exact same thing buying me a H&S airbrush. I haven't used it yet because i'm worried about not cleaning it properly haha.
Is it safe to pull the needle out in front with these little indentations at the end of the needle? I've got a new H&S and am worried to wear out the needle seal and don't know which direction is better... What's your experience? If I pull backwards, I will get paint in the seal and already dried paint on the needle may also wear out the seal. I am leaning towards going in the front but these edges at the end of the needles had me worried... Thanks!
One way or the other the seal will wear out in time. Just recently I had seals exchanged in my oldest Infinity CR Plus (something like ten years old). The way I look at it is: Pulling up front means less paint inside the airbrush, means less mess in the entire mechanism, means less cleaning and thus less overall wear inside the airbrush throughout the years, but also - putting the needle back from the front means I will not bend it if trigger popped out or something is in the way (which I did many times before I switched to using front of the airbrush as point of pulling/moving the needle back.). In the end I guess there's no ultimate solution, only a matter of personal preferences.
@@Scarhandpainting thank you for the detailed answers. That absolutely makes sense! I was irritated because I read a comment about only the first half of the needle being precision engineered and pulling it out though the front may force the potentially bigger end through the seal and widening it in no time and so on. But I agree with you and not bending the needle and less paint is probably worth the 'risk'. I wonder why the manufacturer doesn't explain it better. How long are you practicing needle out in front?

Hey man! Nice Tutorial. Whats the Tool you are using at around 1:32? I have this with some bristles on it, but it can only go like 1inch deep. (Thats what she said)
Hey mate - thanks! Glad you like it. The tool is hairless ramrod that came with an entire set. scarhandpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Scarhandpainting-HA-Airbrush-For-Beginners-22-13.jpg
@@themoody1337 I can't guarantee it is safe for parts (especially valves/seals) but I've been doing this for almost ten years on three different Infinity airbrushes I own and they're all good. Just make sure your ramrod is not jagged at the end and if so - use sanding paper/file to smooth it up.
@@Scarhandpainting thanks so much Dude! Really appreciate it. I will start using it aswell :) Started to think about buying Lube for the parts. Some of them are quite stiff.

Just bought an Infinity. This was a very useful video. Thanks.
Thanks for this comment. Great choice of airbrush on your end. I run three of these and I love them. Have a great painting time ;)
infinity with an evolution front end...nice airbrush!
Good work, great video✌️👍💜😊
This is the most important thing to do with an Airbrush. Cleaning it when the job is done.
Obrigado!
Thank you! Great Video!

thanks for not making it a 20 minutes video 👍
My pleasure. I get why people stretch their videos to feed the algorithm but I do this more as a hobby :)
Guys, whats your PSI sweet spot with 0.2mm needle?
I run 3 bar on default, regardless of needle size.
that cleaning for water base, and the lacquer???
Acrylics
@@Scarhandpainting yeah i know bro, i need more video for clean the lacquer paint
What tool are you using to clean the nozzle piece?
First (pink one) is a cosmetic teeth ramrod. Second (needle like) is Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush Nozzle Cleaning Tool.
Это что за варвар такой? Видео о том как НЕ надо чистить аэрограф. 👎
That is what I was thinking too. I would never ever clean my Infinity airbrushes that way... they are way to expensive to be doing that crap with
Funny how it got worse 10 seconds after you started. Very messy job.
