[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mikebonellisr Along the same lines...What should I use to soften/remove dry POLLY SCALE ,acrylic paint from a airbrush? [/quote] I keep a bottle of Testor's liquid plastic cement to disolve dried paint off airbrush parts. For water soluable paints, like polly scale, I spray water to clean out as much paint as possible, but there is always some that has dried on. I dip the tip of the airbrush into the liquid cement and then wipe it off with paper towel and spray more water through the brush. Do not spray the plastic cement. By the way, Paasche and some other airbrushes have an o-ring inside the cone of the nozzle that must be replaced if paint dries in the nozzle. The liquid plastic cement also works well for cleaning paint out of regular brushes, but it does tend to dry out the bristles. JMO
