Review: Perfect for my needs! - 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.
Review: AMAZING! WORKS WONDERS! - All I have to say is this stuff is AMAZING and worth EVERY PENNY. I used to try to thin paints with windex or isopropyl alcohol but if I tried to do it with thick paint it would just be all blobby and wouldn't blend smoothly into a thinner paint mixture. This stuff, on the other hand, blends with the paints perfectly and thins them enough so that they can be used with an airbrush. On top of that, this does not dull the color of the paint! This stuff is so worth it, you won't regret it! Also, the paint I used this with is http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B000HF6YX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (liquitex basic paints). It works really well, and if you get the paint set I linked to and this thinner, it will last you A LONG LONG LONG time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect for artists working in acrylic- dilutes acrylics without weakening the paint molecules
*by C***. on November 25, 2013*

After reading and seeing a thousand warnings about diluting acrylic paints with water for a "wash" effect (too much water prevents the acrylic molecules from bonding with each other, which prevents the paint from adhering to the surface/canvas for long-term, which means cracking or peeling), I read about using airbrush medium instead. It's super thin and milky and provides a great "wash" effect with paints, but it still allows the acrylic molecules to do their thing. I have to admit, washes made with the airbrush medium are actually better on the canvas- they just look richer and more vibrant when dry. The "milky" effect disappears when the paint cures, and it's a little hard to get used to at first, but it's really no difference than working with glazing medium (which is thicker). I highly recommend this for acrylic artists who are looking to make their paints more fluid, translucent, and "wash"-y. It is a really great mixing agent!
