Airbrush Cleaning Solution

I found an excellent and inexpensive airbrush cleaning solution (for acrylic paints). The link is however here are the ingredients:

Distilled water - 3 parts
Window cleaner ("Windex" or equiv. with ammonia) - 2 parts
Isopropyl alcohol 91% - 1 part
Glycerin 1 drops for each 15ml of water

In my case I used a 60ml plastic jar as follows:
Filled with the water to 30ml
Added window cleaner to 50ml
Added alcohol to 60ml
Added 4 drops glycerin

Works great on slightly dried (several minutes) paint, much better than acrylic thinner. Will not remove time dried paint.

    Worth flushing that out with distilled water after then drying fully. Sitting in (even diluted) ammonia can cause problems
