Wayne, I hope it works for you.
For the future, I would strongly suggest that you A> add a filter in your system that sits close to where you work, this will help keep the air that is going into your airbrush clean. B> Avoid situations that can cause these kinds of problems. Submerging your airbrush in any liquids, especially solvents for your paints, doing this can free up paint and debris that can get lodged in places like your trigger well, the handle area, and the airvalve, none of which were ever meant to be exposed to either the paint or the solvents, even things like water. C> Never use abrasives or corrosive materials like ammonia or ammonia based products in your airbrush, also be careful with any solvents you use in your airbrush, there are several that will permenantly screw up Teflon packing and seals, not to mention what they can do to your body and health.

Good luck, let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.
