![]() ![]() Ok, it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty… Methods Of Straightening An Airbrush Needle Method 1: Pull and/or Roll The Needle Tip Between Two Hard Surfaces Whatever you use, make sure it’s disposable given it might get some scratching in it, despite being gentle with the needle. I’ve heard of people using two coins to do the job, they are very hard after all, but personally I would never do this myself given that coins aren’t always perfectly flat and may make the task much more challenging, or at worst, damage the needle further. Or, one piece of wood and something like flat glass. Two small pieces of wood is a good choice, being very hard but also with just a little give that may be beneficial in terms of not accidentally damaging the needle further. Tools Needed To Straighten An Airbrush NeedleĮssentially what is needed is two hard surfaces to sit the needle in between (we’ll go over all of the fine points of exactly what to do in just a moment). ![]() ![]() So, first things first, let’s look at what tools we’ll need for the job… …sadly, it’s time to get some side-cutters and cut the very tip off so that you can get it out of the airbrush and put a brand new replacement in.īut… anecdotally that’s not commonly the case, so let’s assume you’ll expertly get the needle out with no problems at all and are ready to work on the tip to get it back into a fully operational position! Now… what if it just won’t come out and you’re afraid of damaging your expensive airbrush nozzle? What If The Bent Airbrush Needle Won’t Come Out? If it still won’t come out, keep working on the tip until it is straight enough (have some patience here… □), and gently pull the needle out. Once you have it reasonably straight pull the needle out of the airbrush. Try using your fingernail first to straighten the airbrush needle tip as best you can, or perhaps use some tweezers or a small pair of pliers being VERY careful not to be too rough and damage the tip further. Being a delicate as it is, it’s not unheard of for the nozzle to be pushed out of shape itself, or even split, when a bent needle is force through it in either direction. ![]()
