Best way to keep you 2024 evolution in tip top condition 

Thank you for a detailed tutorial. Keep up the good work!

Another excellent, straight forward video. Everything you need to know, nothing more.

Nice work, DRED. Gratz on the H&S invite & appearance!

Father Christmas is still bringing them in for ya!.. Judging by your face on the H&S vid.. it is always Christmas when you get a new airbrush.. and what a beauty.. you had a smile from one side of the room to the other.. and so did I just watching you both.. If they have a new infinity in the pipeline I don't know how they are going to better that Evo. It looks the business.

Thanks Rob answered all my questions in one go. Bye the way enjoyed your video with Warwick. You two (sorry 3) looked like kiddies in a toyshop with the new Evo24. Great show .

Thanks for the video! Extremely helpful. Keep up the good work.

Been using an Ultra Pro for 2 years but got an EvoCRPlus 2024 arriving today so Im here for a heads up on care and dissasembly. Great video 🤘

Great cleaning tutorial! 👌🏽I only add lube from the cup to the front of the brush. I find it to work just as good. I did lube the whole needle one time, to find out the needle chuck holder wouldn’t hold the needle and would slide fairly easy. Thought I had stripped something. Cleaned the lube off and worked great afterwards. Lovey brush👀. I’ll be back says Warwick !!👌🏽👍🏽

Thank you, very informative and helpful.

Why did I never think of using a little paint brush?! Brilliant thank you 😊😊

Those h+s assembly and disassembly are idiot proof and I'm the biggest one 🤪🤪 thanks Rob 😊😊😊

Hey rob thumbs up on this video so when I get my squigmar black evolution 2024 sometime in the coming week I’ll be able to deep clean and take care of this airbrush.

Sets the standard for clarity and thoroughness. Thx.

I've seen people polish needle tips with jewelers polish. An extreme I never attempted. Good vid, thx.

Just purchased one of these air brushes so a very useful video nice one 👍

Thank you for this video, it was just what I needed.

Thanx for this information i will go and clean mi airbrush the right way.

Another informative video and thanks for the link to airbrush holder.

very good tuition video, learn a lot from it.

Super helpful vid! It really shows you know what you're talking about with real world time behind the trigger. One thing I've taken to using is those squirter medical bottles that some tattoo shops use. The ones that you can squirt while they are standing upright. Easy to squirt with a pinpoint spray and doesn't spill when I knock it over. And ya... I use Q-Tips / Cotton Swabs all the time with no trouble. And I use the cheapest of the cheap ones to boot.

Some good info there Rob on looking after your new H&S Evolution brush, the more I see this the more I like it as it's a beautiful looking brush even though I don't use them I can appreciate the quality and work that has gone onto making it👌🙏👍

Brilliant! I just bought this airbrush.

Like you I pull the needle out from the back but what I do is put some cleaner in the cup and use a artist brush cleaning what part of the needle that's visible then turn the needle and repeat pull the needle out a bit repeat, pull the needle out and wipe it off then put the brush bristles in each hole and turn the brush then pour some cleaner through, put needle back in "job done".

sweet brush love my ultra and maby next xmas the evo will be my next one to replace my old evo

Thank you for this comprehensive video! It's awesome. What might cause paint to collect on the very front of the airbrush? Specifically those two prongs at the front. I'm finding paint is collecting there and later it splatters if I don't clean it off 🤔 am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for the link to the holder, it's just what I'm looking for at the moment. Re the cleaning, I have invested in an Ultrasonic cleaner that I just throw all of the components into every few days as well as following your cleaning steps. It works well.

Thanks for all your information just love you info, where are you from.

Thanks for this perfect turtorial👍

Grazie per queste informazioni!!

❤ thank you as usual perfect explanation

Hi mate, just wondering if all or some of the seals (for the older evolution cr plus) would be compatible with the new 2024 model. Got a seal kit but haven't needed to use them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and information on this piece of engineering mastery! Cheerz from Oz 👍🍺

Great video! I appreciate the tutorial!

An alternative to dedicated airbrush lubricating oil is Wahl hair clipper oil. It is extremely low viscosity and works just as well and at just under £7 for 118ml, roughly £60 per litre, is way cheaper than Iwata lube which is £16 per 10ml, which represents a staggering £1600 per litre! A complete no brainer!

Great video. Interested to know a cleaner you might recommend. I’ve used the Iwata and Vallejo stuff before. Should I use a heavier cleaner like the Tamiya one? Primarily use acrylic based paints with the occasional wash.

Mukka you've forgotten to mention the dred fx tip tool 😊😊😊

hey dredd can you please show us the tip dry tool .. where i can find it or may be make myself ?

Hello Dred. I look videos about Airbrushes since a few weeks. I never, never, never saw anyone ho clean up this with so dedication like you. Absolut fantastic. I look many videos about airbrushes because i want to by one (my First). First i want to buy the new H&S ULTRA 2024. I want to paint minis (Warhammer) and terrains. I saw a video from H&S with Warrick, Andy Wardle and you. From the time you have the new H&S EVO 2024 in your hand you are so charmed from the evo, that i wan‘t the evo too 😅. In germany (sorry my english is not verry good) the new H&S EVO 2024 comes out end of january. I can‘t wait this few days 😫😅. Great Video. Greetings from germany 😉🤘🏽

thanks for another great video. this would be my first H&S brush, I was curious if you recommend using a mac valave attachment to control the air pressure on the evo? i noticed H&S has a evo that has their valve but its a big price jump especially compared to just getting one online.

Another well produced and informative video. One question, do you ever take your cap off?🤫

Great video

Really helpful Dred -- much appreciated. Question -- I use a lot of lacquer paint so in place of water I assume that I would use the lacquer thinner as a cleaner ? Grateful for your thoughts

Grazie per la sua onesta', di dire che ci sono modellisti e aerografisti, che smontano, sfilano ago - diametro permettendo, l'ago da davanti e lo rimontano da davanti io sono uno di questi ( e lo faccio da 34 anni, con il mio primo aerografo Vivaz duse da mm.0,3 una copia del Badger 250, perché i soldi son soldi, e rovinare un ago e rimanere sul piu' bello fermi, fa' arrabbiare, perché la sfortuna e sempre dietro l'angolo). Io uso un H&S Infinity CR Plus, dal 2019 assieme ad altri 12 aerografi comprati in 34 anni, e come dice lei, si smontano ad occhi chiusi, l'unico neo difetto se vogliamo dire cosi', del mio aerografo vedendo quello nuovo e la parte dove c'è il pulsante per dare aria e colore la parte a semicerchio dietro, i vecchi modelli ruotavano si muovevano a 360 gradi e rimontarlo era un po' una scocciatura, ora fisso e aiuta moltissimo il tutto ha rimontare il tutto. Ho visto un video che Lei ed un altro modellista di figurini siete stati invitati dal boss di H&S, una bella soddisfazione e parlare e provare i nuovi modelli. Una domanda: L' Infinity CR Plus del 2024 ha le caratteristiche dell'Evolution del pulsante e parte semicerchio? e duse diametro da mm.0.28, piu' comodo con pigmenti di colore piu' densi. Grazie

❤

Waiting to see what the new infinity has to offer. Back then the 1st Evolution was my first brush, the infinity the 2nd.

If I am understanding this, if I flush everything clean between colors and immediately after a session, I shouldn't have to take the whole thing apart...ever. Is that correct? I guess I don't understand why anyone would leave paint in it overnight when it takes seconds to flush clean.

Please Help! My rear chuck doesn't grip the needle well. If I tighten it softly like you do, it doesn't grip. If I tighten it twice as much, it grips the needle but the rear chuck comes loose half a notch when I pull the trigger back. The airbrush still paints but the rear chuck isn't stuck in place. Is that normal or should it not move at all after you tighten it?

I have one of these and, as a new airbrush user, really struggling. Session one was great. I cleaned it, or thought I did, but session two saw it blocking. I thought I had it sorted but bubbling back. I cleaned again. Left it. Now, within a minute, it blocked. Any ideas? I’ve followed your video and baffled. Thanks.

Tried all of that but still the Evolution craps all over my artwork when least expected. Never got anything out of this brush. Don’t know about Evo but for me it should be NSU - no sodding use.

Do you know when the new infinity 2024 is due to be released?

Where can I get one of them cleaning pots bro ????

My crown cap won’t come off…what am i doing wrong?? Great video by the way.

@Dred, Good advice. Yes, on a side note. Some prefer removing the needle at the nozzle end, some the reverse. Something I've noticed, drawing the needle from the nozzle/spray tip for removal. The stamped indentation of needle size ends up being a bit over sized and catches while passing through the plastic seals. Don't get me wrong, love the reminder of the needle in the brush, helps remind of the nozzle, you know. Thought was, if I can feel the passage of my stamped reminder at the end of the needle , I think I'm degrading the seals if one is so anal as to totally disassemble an airbrush. Read many old-timers stating total disassembly is unnecessary unless one hasn't done standard cleanup while working. I've also read, not sure in all cases', some manufactures will void warranty due to user disassembly.. Not an issue, H@S needles grab the seals on the way out the front end. So I would pull back to preserve the seals. H@S needles are fine, love needle size indication, just something for me to ramble about. In my defense, H@S rocks, good brushes. All I work with, they trained me.

As far as I know they haven’t been sent out yet.

No matter what I try, I can’t for the life of me stop this sodding brush from spitting. Checked the seating of the needle, all connections checked and bees waxed. Cleaned to within an inch of its life. Whether it’s Createx or inks the same problem. Idont get this with the Iwata or the Badger even changed the compressor hose.
