Hi, Ronald, George,
Assuming you use an ordinary external mix gun, there's a little trick which
helps gun cleaning. When spraying thinners through the gun to clean it,
place a rag over the paint cap to partially block the air and paint
drillings. This will cause the thinners to bubble in the gun's interna
passages and swill out the insides.
Be careful to avoid blocking the holes too effectively or the thinners might
come out of the cap bleed hole and hit you in the eye.
