In this video, I completely strip and clean my Harder and Steenbeck Evolution 2 in 1 airbrush. I replace the internal seals, as well as the needle and the nozzle. I lubricate the airbrush and reassemble.
Hello, thanks very much for this very interesting video. Just one simple question as I am a brand new user of this model of airbrush: I understand what you describe is a "big" overall cleaning process, let's say to do every other year. Now what is the regular procedure for cleanning the airbrush just after use, I mean: after each use on an everyday basis? Thanks a lot for your help.
What is the part number for the upgraded seal holder , the original that holds only 1 is 123471 and I bought the seals 123450 but need the part number for upgraded one that hold the 3
Hello great video thank you. Just had a new H&S Evolution 2 in 1 (Xmas 2020) and am new too airbrushing. I seem to be having issue with air coming out whilst no pressure applied to trigger. I have used this before and had no issues albeit on one model which I am working on. I have given it a thorough clean and changed from 2mm to 4mm but still leaking air from nozzle. I am using Vallejo acrylic paint plus air flow improvers etc. Trigger seem to want to push down as well. Any ideas what the problem could be?
Yeah, I am having the same issue with mine! Did you ever work out how to resolve it? I've heard somewhere that new airbrushes can have this issue due to the O ring in the valve being inflexible when brand new, so maybe it will go away with more use?
Just had a thought, do I have to adjust the seal when changing my needle size from a 0.4 to a 0.2 so its not to loose to let paint back through the body. I understand it's obviously only 0.2 difference, but that can have an effect I would of thought and if so, is this why a lot of people have an air brush for differing sizes. I've never heard this question come up before
Hi, great video for a new airbrush user with H&S Silverline 2in1. The item on the triple seal upgrade was particularly helpful, just waiting for mine to be delivered. Have one question, what lubricant were you using ?
Am I correct in thinking that the Hansa 281 made by Harder & Steinbeck is the same model as Evolution model demonstrated in the video, where did you get the new parts and special screwdriver from ? Thanks Terry
Many thanks for your prompt replies. The Hansa 281 actually has on the barrel of the airbrush that it’s made by Harder & Steinbeck (sorry I should have noted that on my message to you ( It looks identical to the Harder & Steinbeck I your video ) I’ll check it out with the link you gave me Thanks Terry
Hello ! I have a question, do you do this everytime you change your color ? Just new in the airbrush painting and got the same model. greetings from switzerland thanks for tips mate !
No, this is more of a 'deep clean'. For a colour change I get rid of the old paint, spray until no more comes out, then I spray through thinners or water (depending on the paint) until it's clear. Then I reload with the new colour. HTH.
@@markrayton6385 To me it looks like part 123450 is the 3 seals for the needle and there are 3 pieces in the package (all seals). These are the standard seal(s) that comes originally on the Evolution, nothing upgraded just 3 of them in the package. The standard screw is part number 123471, I have looked on everything airbrush's web site in the UK and spray gunner's site here in the US and I have not found a screw that will hold the 3 seals. That part number is what I'd like to know.
I have the solo version of this, the worst airbrush ever. Have only been giving me problems since I bought it some few months ago. Only worked properly once until it started to refuse to spray any paint out, or flushing paint up the cup. Now it might sound like I never even cleaned it properly, but thats exectly what I done after every use. Spraying tamiyas airbrush cleaner out of it, but it acts like it does not do anything about the paint inside. My cheap airbrush by Cocraft gave me less problems than this nightmare.
I can see you have a lot of good knowledge, but replacing a needle should always go back in from the front not the rear. Just leave the jet out till afterwards. Slide the needle back until the point can be seen in the cup position, screw the jet in and then slide the needle forward
Yeah, no. When reassembling your airbrush, the needle is reinserted from the rear, exactly the reverse of removing it in the first place. Your post makes zero sense.
