Blake: We usually head over to the local big-box and pick up a box of 100 nitrile disposable gloves. They typically come in a variety of colors and sizes.

Mark, you can get great results with a siphon-feed airbrush. If it's been a while since you broke it down and cleaned it, that may be an issue. No need to fill your whole container: go in 1mL bursts with your thinner/cleaner and follow with water for a good flush and get out any solvent that may sit on seals or brass parts. In the meantime, take a look at this video, if you haven't already, for some helpful tips cleaning an airbrush (just copy and past the URL): https://finescale.com/videos/how-to-videos/2017/02/airbrushing-with-aaron-part-3-keeping-it-clean

Aaron. Great video! Problem I have is older airbrush that uses the glass bottles and paint drawn up through small plastic tube. Just can’t see how to clean and maintain brush. How much solvent to I need? I know, very vague question. Wish I had a better setup. Oh well.
