Master Airbrush 3-in-1 Cleaning Pot with Holder; Cleans and Holds Airbrush, Color Palette Lid

dont do a lot of airbrushing, but when i do it comes in handy. Made my own first. now got this. working good. dont give many 5's

Solidly grounded and stable. Very nice quality

If you want an airbrush cleaning station an don't want to spend a lot of money, this one is OK. Just remember that in some cases you get what you pay for. This airbrush cleaning pot makes switching colors in my airbrush go much faster. It's really nice to just add a little solvent to the cup and spray it right into the cleaning pot before adding a new color. The unit is sturdy and the airbrush holder is really very handy. That said, this particular model has a few minor hiccups that you should be aware of. As I encountered these issues, I had to remind myself that I paid less than $20 for it, so for the money, I really can't complain too much. I think 4 stars is a pretty fair rating since I do like it and use it a lot, but as I'll detail below, there are a few issues.1. It's pretty difficult to get the lid threaded correctly onto the glass base. As a result, you get a lot of leakage and fumes coming out around the threaded edges. The solution I found was to fiddle with it until I got it threaded and when I tightened it, it got so tight that I can't unscrew it. It's OK, because there's now no leakage around the lid, and I just empty and clean it through the airbrush port and vent.2. The small filters that go into the filter vent are pretty much useless. If you're blowing in anything more than 5psi, you're going to blow the filters out. The fix, as others have mentioned, is to gently push a cotton ball (or piece of cotton ball) into the vent hole and it works perfectly. It filters any vapor and never falls out while you're using the cleaning pot.3. This one is a little nit-picky, but it's advertised as a 3-in-1 cleaning station = pot; airbrush holder; paint mixing tray. I used to work in marketing, so I get it . . . but really? The cleaning pot is fine, the airbrush holder is fine, but the lid is practically useless. It's basically like people sat around and thought about how they could make it 3-in-1 and somebody said "hey we can mix paint in the lid! Brilliant!" It's really not practical to try and mix paints at an airbrush consistency in this very large lid, then try and find a way to adequately mix and transfer them into an airbrush. As far as trying to make the lid an additional selling point = FAIL.

Wide base, heavy enough to not be easily knocked off and won’t tip over. Handy when using enamel or lacquer paints and provides a place to safely hold your airbrush

Great idea to have a trap for cleaning your airbrush. Better to have the mist and vapor trapped than get into you. Plus it can hold your brush. What's not to like?Well yours may work fine, mine did not. Screwed on top and then it locked tighter than a bank vault. Could not get it open so back it went. So it you get one screw the top on a bunch of times when you first get it, rather than open, close, wait a month then .. OH SNAP!GOOD POINTS:1) Sits stable by itself, won't easily fall over.2) Solid and heavy, will not tip over when holding an airbrush.3) Big enough to do a good job trapping the vapors.4) Brush holder with with all brushes and has relieve for those with front MAC valves.5) Rubber gasket under lid that seals the unit vapor tight.BAD POINTS:1) Lid can freeze up preventing you from opening or cleaning it.HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER:1) Add some sheet rubber or other non skid stuff to the bottom. The glass bottom of the bottler will skate and slide on a bare desktop.2) Open the unit and place some balled up paper towels to absorb the liquid spray. Helps it work and makes it easier to clean later.3) Help improve the solvent capture by installing a baffle. As shipped the airbrush blows into the unit almost directly where the exhaust port is located. So what goes in immediately comes out. Glue a baffle (cut up credit card or the like) On the inside of the cap near input port. This will force spray DOWN, and prevent if from going directly out the exhaust.It's slick and neat and with a tweak or two would work well. Just open it a few time to make sure it does open.

Collect all the spray when cleaning your airbrush. Works well for this purpose.

I tried airbrushing about 20 years ago and never got very good at it. I decided to try it again and watched some you tube videos and the people I watched used one and now I understand why. It makes cleaning my airbrushes so much easier.

LARGE is the first thing you need to know, this thing is massive even when compared to the iwata one I was replacing not really an issue but it’s something to consider. As others have mentioned it does leak a bit of gasses when your using it, I plan on fixing it by simply using some pipe thread tape like what you use on your airbrush’s fittings around the threads and that should fix the issue. I did only get two of the filters for it but I’m not too concerned really, and I ended up fitting both of them to help it filter better (fit one up on the inside and one down the hole on the outside like your supposed to) if replacing filters becomes an issue I’ll edit this post but for the price I’m not going to complain about two pieces of what feel like felt missing lol, my only other minor thing is if you don’t fill the container a bit before using the bottom off the container will gather paint in the center because it’s dome shaped, and if you don’t have enough liquid in there, it will form an island above the thinners and chemicals, but not really an issue just gotta fill with water or chemical of your choice alittle and the issue will go away.
