snapshotmd Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Just curious, which way do you usually remove your airbrush needle for cleaning? Through the front end, or the back? I usually pull it out through the back, but then I started seeing several videos where the needle was pulled out the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I have a badger 150 and remove the needle from the back. There is extra needle length back there that never gets used, so tool marks are no big deal. The front is the working end, so reinsertion must be done very carefully. By the way, owners manuals can usually be found on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuttem Jack Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I push mine out through the front when cleaning. Put it back in through the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I always remove and replace my Iwata needle from the back. I remove it when I'm changing colors so I can wipe it clean for the next color. I only remove the nozzle assembly when I'm doing a real cleaning. Maybe that's why....???

Anglinarcher Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Better get and use your manual for each airbrush. My Talon must have it removed and replaced from the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tronicsman Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have only ever removed mine from the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I guess that makes us a backward bunch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
