Excellent advice on the seals and re-using thinner. I can be very cheap so both recommendations fit me well. I have been all over the web looking at comments and air brushing forums outside of a train context. The Paasche H gets continuous good reviews even down in the fine scale modeling crowd (except from Don Wheeler. But his experience really seemed to be outside the norm so I treated it like an outlier and ignored it). That made it an easy call to go with the H. The Iwata line looks like a can't miss level of quality. If I stay with this and like it, I expect to end up with one of the Iwata's. I ordered a 3M organic mask. QUESTION: What about the advertised air brush cleaners like the Badger cleaner? Is that worth spending money on?
