Remove paint clogs from airbrush nozzles and spray gun tips with the Indigo™ 22573 nozzle cleaning dental pick. Sharp probe pick clears dried paint without damaging delicate airbrush components.
Airbrush artists, model painters, and professional spray finishers face a constant challenge: dried paint accumulation in nozzles, air caps, and needle tips creates splattering, inconsistent spray patterns, and complete blockages. Whether working with acrylics, enamels, lacquers, or automotive finishes, paint dries quickly in the narrow passages of airbrush tips and spray gun nozzles. Standard cleaning methods, flushing with thinner, back-flushing, or soaking, don't always remove stubborn paint deposits, especially high-pigment colors, metallics, or tip-dry buildup that forms during extended spray sessions. Using inappropriate tools like sewing needles or wire can scratch delicate brass nozzles or damage precision air caps.
This specialized sharp probe pick features dual curved tips repurposed for airbrush and spray equipment maintenance. The precision points navigate the narrow passages of airbrush nozzles (typically 0.2mm to 0.5mm), removing dried paint from needle tips, nozzle orifices, and air cap holes without damaging soft brass or chrome-plated components. The curved geometry allows controlled cleaning of recessed areas where paint accumulates behind air caps and inside nozzle assemblies.
Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.
If you need to ream out smaller, larger or just deeper holes than the 22573 dental pick, the Indigo™ 316 grade stainless steel insect pin variety pack may be the answer. It comes with 10 pins for each of the 10 standard sizes. Pin diameters range from 0.25 to 0.65mm. The thinnest ones are finer than acupunture needles!
On a budget & need a disposable price? We also have 10x10 pack of black enamel pins.
Need a greater variety of ultra-sharp tips for your work? Our unique 100 piece insect pin sampler package has 10 pins in 10 thicknesses, all made with grade 316 stainless steel.
