How to clean a Neo for Iwata 

Yes that’s a great tip!! Pinning to the top so other folks can see, thanks so much for watching! 🙌

Nice!!! That can deff happen sometime. Was it some dry paint in the nozzle? Glad you got it fixed, happy painting my friend 🤘

My pleasure, thank you for watching! It really is a great brush, with the right care and cleaning it will last a long time. The nozzle seal will wear out eventually but I think you may be able to get them on their own.

thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!!

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad it helped🙌

I have used beeswax in a pinch.

Sorry I am just seeing this now, not a stupid question at all. I would try some plumbers tape in its place.

I’ve gone to Harbor Freight of all places and bought their boxes of small O rings. I get the black ones and the green ones.

So glad to hear it!

I am very glad to hear that, your welcome!

Thanks for watching! 🙌

This video was made during the COPPA days. Blame the government it’s not my fault, gotta be compliant.

You probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of weeks =)

@Davis Conner Yea, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)

@Davis Conner Yup, have been using instaflixxer for since november myself =)

@Davis Conner yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

if at all possible i would try and return it for a new one. my first one had that same issue. sorry i am just seeing this now. thanks for watching!

Yes once everything is clean and together I slide the needle in last. Always point first from the back, never insert the needle from the front. Thanks for watching!

@@zeroshobbies I think what he was asking is that in the video you slide the needle up inside the nozzle tip for assembly so it doesn't get dinged or damaged during assembly. Which is a great idea. However, you then tighten the back nut. Obviously without correcting this before their next use it would very possibly pulled back to far and cause the Airbrush to be spit and splat paint everywhere up inside the nozzle because the needle tip isn't clearing it.. What is not shown is that the needle itself needs to be gently readjusted to the nozzle. When doing this you hold the nozzle tip in place and slowly, gently push the needle forward and through the nozzle....... until it stops . It should slightly protrude from the end of the nozzle during operation. Then...... the back nut should be tightened. For reference, the user will need to have the back nut loose, but still on the threads, similar to when they first remove the needle. I'm sure you probably realized this a long time ago now, but I just wanted to leave this small revision to help those who might have this issue and not realize why. Awesome video BTW. I used this for my first NEO cleaning as I bought one for my second airbrush and it is a slightly different tear down/cleaning process then my Iwata HP-CS. The HP-CS has a floating nozzle and a few other small design differences. For anyone who is curious they are both excellent tools and similar in many ways. If I had to point out a clear difference it would be that the NEO has a little more aggressive, wide spray pattern, perfect for primer and slightly lareger surfaces while the HP-CS has a more precise spray pattern and excels with paint..... With this in mind, it is the reason I bought the NEO. I think they are perfect compliments to each other and this particular pair of air brushes will cover anything you cone across building Gundam's and model cars & planes.

@@garethmurphy8235 Thanks for adding that. I was wondering why my ab didn't work. Noob here and don't know a thing.

if you can find one the same size yes. otherwise i think you have to order a new nozzle.

i want to get one someday but i don't think they are necessary

Like I said in the video, clean after every paint sesh. No reason to replace, they sell all the parts separately. When the seal on my nozzle broke I just ordered another one and was back spraying again.

@@zeroshobbies That is good to know that they sell the individual parts so you don't have to necessarily buy a whole new set up. 👍

@@xxnike0629xx Yeah definitely, I don't have experience with other brands but Iwata is really good at making their stuff readily available. Hobby Lobby carries almost everything you need. When I wanted to convert it to .5 needle/nozzle setup I was able to get all 3 parts there which was nice. For being a "cheap" brush, I absolutely love it.

Sounds like it could be an issue with the internal seals. I get some paint residue back there on my Qtip when I clean my brush, but never pooling. Did this happen suddenly or was the brush brand new? I returned my first one because it had faulty orings somewhere inside and it didnt spray correctly. Im sure you already did but also be sure your nozzle is clean and clear so the paint is able to spray out. Seems like with the NEO, keeping the brush spotless is a big part of keeping it working correct. Hope this helps!

@@zeroshobbies I used it maybe twice and it happened, definitely was pooling, not just a little paint and i guess that stopped things up. Air was coming out but no paint. After cleaning throughly i was able to get paint again but don't feel like it's back to 100%. Since it's relatively new and I got it from Amazon i'm just going to exchange it. Like you said perhaps the o ring is defective.

Thanks so much for watching! Check out my newest video if you get a chance, it may help solve your spitting problem.

@@zeroshobbies problem solved and back to painting model cars when I have much more important things to do.

thanks for watching!

Nice!! No prob thank you for watching 🤘🙌

Hey so I cleaned it as you instructed but now it's only spraying alot on all the three levels what I mean is even when I push down lightly on the button to spray alot comes out can you tell me what could be the problem?

@@JuniorD236 can you clarify a little more what you mean? Most of the problems I had after reassembling were solved by tightening the nozzle slightly more, just don’t go too tight. Beyond that make sure everything is screwed in fully

What am referring to is that when i apply the lightest bit of preesure to the trigger it sprayd full force leaving huge globs of paint i stead of spreying small amounts. And are you talking about the nozzle that connected to the trigger ? If so I'll try that and see what happens. Thank you.

fuck yeah!

Thank you for watching!!🙌

blame COPPA

just wanted to be thorough since there’s a lot going on
