Hi, Wagenwerk is a very small dealer that has to order most items elsewhere. I don't know if they have any stock at all. You could contact me if you want to order something there. I might be able to identify a better supplier. A Weinert Catalog could have certainly be ordered here https://www.modellbahnshop-lippe.com/produkt/Weinert/10-7-0-158265-009003-0-0-0-0-0-0-grp-gb-p-0/ein_produkt.html faster. Have a very Merry Christmas, Michael

hi, there was a discussion in a German forum about the same problem. Some people used old coffee grinders to get rid of the clumps. This is also a fantastic method to thorougly mix two colors of grass. The grinders can be found cheap at ebay. Example (I know it is in the USA, it is just to demostrate the type) : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Capresso-501-Blade-Coffee-Spice-Grinder-Black-Works-Great/152792299800?hash=item2393217918:g:JSkAAOSwzgBY1eIu hope it helps, Michael

Hi Tony, I am using "the other ebay model" cleaning station with the black cap. I guess they are quite comparable. Regarding mechanical cleaning of the airbrush equipment: I tried to clean it using tooth picks, cotton swabs and things like that. Never got good results. Today I am using a cheap ultrasonic bath instead. Needle, nozzle and all other removable parts as well as the body are going into a small vessel with cleaner and then into the US-bath. I have no more problems with cloggin or poor results since then. The ultrasonic bath is also used to stirr up the sediments in paint and to clean the models before painting. All in all, a good 40€ investment. regards, Michael

Now to buy a cleaning station. Tony, get a cheap one, but don't forget to order the filters with the station. They don't last very long. Michael

Tony, I am using the Amazon unit you mention in your first post. I notice sometimes that the suction into the booth is not strong enough so that some mist escapes the airflow. This may be overcome if your booth is deep enough to actually work INSIDE the channel. I don't know how strong your airflow is, but I think that deeper may be better in your case. cheers, Michael
