What do you all use to clean your airbrush after using Worn Effects? I'm not quite sure whether Windex will be appropriate.

Also, (and I apologize if this has been asked before) what are the actual differences between Worn Effects and regular hair spray?

Thanks!

I don't remember what I used to clean up,but it is an acrylic product,I think I just cleaned up with water or alchohol.

The difference "they" say is that it is designed for use by the modeler,not sure what that means,but one thing is that your model doesn't smell like a hair salon when your done.

I've been spraying the Worn Effects fluid quite a lot lately, and have been shooting windshield wiper fluid through followed by clean, distilled water to clean the airbrush. That cleans the airbrush out just fine.

I also do a complete tear down and cleaning after each session, no matter what I'm spraying.
