Alternative Air Brush Cleaner

[Davor]

I am running out of Air Brush Cleaner. So what other stuff can I use? I have no hobby stores close by no more and even drove 1/2 away and the store doesn't carry it for now. So what can I use? How is rubbing alcohol? Is it ok to use for now, or is it harmful? How about just straight hot water?

I have stopped painting now because I can't use my air brush and afraid to use it because I can't clean it properly.

So what can I buy at my local Walmart say that could help me for now?

I use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol all the time.

That's great to hear tripwire. Thanks. I have a lot of that.

I use isopropyl as a cleaner as well, be aware that it causes some paints (vallejo mainly) to floculate which can really gum up the brush. I always blow through 2-3 cups of plain water before using the alcohol, seems to help with the floculation

alcohol or windex, followed by water (spray till dry), works good lasts long time.

Thanks everyone. Will try it out. Didn't know I could use windex. I remember reading about using windex as a thinner in a pinch but not as a cleaner.
