Airbrush Medium

Absolutely not effecrive. Dried acrylic paints didn’t thin at all.

Always a fabulous product

I have approximately 4,785,347* bottles of acrylic model / miniature paint from various manufacturers (Tamiya, Model Master, Citadel, Polly S, even some old Ral Partha stuff). Intended for brush work, it's all too thick for an airbrush. Thinning with water is not desirable because it thins not only the pigment, but also the polymer emulsion. The effect of the latter is that if the emulsion bonds are stretched too thin your paint can actually crack when it dries. Not good. Some people recommend Windex as a thinning agent, but you have to be careful you get Windex WITHOUT ammonia in it (isopropyl alcohol can sometimes be easier to find than alcohol-based Windex). This works better than plain water, and Windex / alcohol makes for a decent thinning and bonding agent for the paint. The only problem here is that because you're dealing with a liquid with alcohol in it, it dries pretty fast. On the model, this is good. Inside the tip of your airbrush, not so much. An airbrush medium is, essentially, clear acrylic paint. It thins the paint without weakening the emulsion and maintains the pigment strength. It doesn't dry nearly as fast as isopropyl alcohol, and so your working time in your airbrush is extended. The medium also contains a flow aid which alters the surface tension of the liquid to further prevent spattering. * This number may be slightly exaggerated.

As described. Good quality. Does the job.

Fungerar bra

Zeer goed product om je verf te verdunnen en toch dezelfde kwaliteit te behouden. Aanrader!
