ulvdemon Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 This might be a long shot, but would anyone have any thoughts on how to clear the line on the cup of a Paasche H airbrush? I was clearing during cleaning and what I was using broke (toothpick)🙄. So it is stuck really good, so this is my boneheaded move for the month build wise. Thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions in clearing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kurt H. Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 You mean the color cup, where the tube makes a tight turn? I am not sure if there is a way, I did the same thing and I think I ended up throwing away the cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulvdemon Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Yes, the color cup. I ended up buying a new cup, but figured it might be possible to clear it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I googled it, not see one like that for a while. Drill it out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 If it's wood ( a toothpick ) fill the cup with water or lacquer thinner and, the wood piece should soften up and be easier to remove. IF it's even worth the trouble. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulvdemon Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Probably more effort than it's worth, but I am going to use the bin we sue to clean weapons at work to see if it will work. At this point, I've already ordered a new cup... now I am just seeing what can be done to fix my idiotic mistake. 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ulvdemon Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Going to be picking those up for the new cup that comes in. Thanks everyone for the help, even though I did such a boneheaded thing. Very much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
