Huh, Im not sure when anyone mentioned my usage of a respirator, I think you invented that out of nowhere tbh.

ok, back on topic -

Tips get dry, try lowering pressure and some "drying retarder" or "slo dry".

Regarding other paints - find someone in your area who uses different paints (and thinning solutions) to see what they think and see the results in person.

best of luck, and have fun!

Never use an air brush cleaning kit. It's mostly a scam.

They actually risk damaging the seals inside of your airbrush which will then allow the paint to flow back into the airbrush and potentially damage the trigger etc.

Watch the following video from the owner of badger airbrush:

It's a long one, but well worth watching for anyone starting with an airbrush and even some tips for advanced users.
