How to unclog paint sprayer?

[ivanptr]

Any kind of liquid i can soak the sprayer in to dissolve all the dry paint residual?

Seems there are some residuals in the nozzle which makes the spray much weaker

Its not totally blocked though

We tried using hot water to clear it (but no improvement)

Also inspected other parts seems there are no blockage

Hey @MitchellMc 

Are there spores growing in your photo close up?

If you fill the paint reservoir with warm soapy water @ivanptr, will the machine spray it out?

Quite possibly @Noyade. Too small to see with the human eye, though.

• @MitchellMc @EricL 

thanks it finally finally works

the most tricky part is inside the nozzle where we cant dissemble like @MitchellMc did with wagner

so we sticked a tiny bottle brush into the vent , and kept pressing and releasing the trigger for 30 times to make surface of that internal part scratch with our brush

we also poured some Diggers Methylated Spirits into that vent before using bottle brush, seems it did have some effect on thinning the dried paint

like @EricL said before, we need to be cautious of stronger chemical , so we didnt use acetone cos google says it can damage plastic and we are not sure if our ozito sprayer can withstand that

again, thanks heaps for both of your guidance. now i can eat my breakfast without stress☀️

That's great to hear @ivanptr!

Remember to fill the reservoir up with warm water before you finish with the machine and spray it through to clear out any paint. Also, whenever you as stopping for a couple of hours or have been spraying for a long time, clean out the internal parts so the paint doesn't dry in the unit and build up.

Good luck with the rest of your project!
