Hi all,

I am in the market for an Ultra Sonic Cleaner for my air brushes. I have the Badger 105 and the Iwata Eclipse.

Does anyone have a recommendation on brand and cleaning solution for an Ultra Sonic Cleaner?

thanks

Dave

Get the small ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight Tools ($39.95, or less with a coupon), and Medea airbrush cleaner to put in it and you'll be all set.

Check this link out.

I go a little extreme and have a bottle filled with thinner (usually lacquer thinner) in water. Not sure if this is 'officially' classified as safe so be careful. Don't want to see you in the news.




Cheers

I got mine from Amazon.com. I just use distilled water in mine. Of course, I use the ultrasonic cleaner after I have manually cleaned my airbrush, just to get those last bits.

I picked one up at Wal Mart, in the jewelry section, for about $15.00. I use standard alcohol and have great results.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I picked one up from the Harbour Freigt Tools store we have here in Savannah.

It works great, Thanks again
