ElectroSoldier Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Then you should know the brass isnt completely covered. Which is why people do get problems when they use ammonia based cleaners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know my Iwata was machined after the electroplating process which exposes the brass. I dont even know why we are having this conversation about it. For a start people have in the past had the problem of the chrome striping off their airbrush after using ammonia based cleaners. Something you say shouldnt be a problem, but their actual use experience says is. Secondly if you are going to be using IPA to clean up then why not just skip the ammonia and clean it out with IPA as it does clean up after using Klear. Its a dumb argument on two different fronts and yet you continue to push both of them for no other reason than you want to be right because you have somebody who made a youtube video to prove you are right.

Now that wasn't so hard was it? So 5 drops of diluted Ammonium Hydroxide (not pure Ammonia) in a 100 drops of solution will attack the brass. Okay. Got it.
