If you maintain your airbrush and keep it clean, lubrication will not be needed as often. Glycerin is a common ingredient in airbrush lubericants. Glycerin is hygroscopic and is a humectant in cosmetic products. This means it can attract and absorb water molecules. Glycerin is also an acrylic retarder, and can help in application of acrylic paints.
