Airbrush Maintenance and Thorough Cleaning

Description

I completely forgot to clean my airbrush through after I used it and remembered the next day. I was using silicone foundation so I knew I was in trouble as I believe I wouldn't be able to just run the fluid through it for a quick clean. I took advice from Temptu and they advised me to dismantle the brush and give it a thorough clean. I tried to find a video here on youtube about thorough cleaning for silicone foundation using the appropriate fluid and didn't find one. I thought i'd share my experience.

Please note that I am knew to airbrushing and not trained. I've just picked up tips from asking people at IMATS and emailing Temptu.
UPDATE
I took the plunge and have since taken the gun apart. It was really easy to do and I gave the thing a really good clean. Putting it back together was really easy too.
