 Subject:  Bad but ultimately good.........List thread.

I bought some of these a while ago and initially found them unusable - I tried two straight up double action airbrushes but they just clogged up with something resembling porridge. The strip down and cleanup was a nightmare and really put me off. However, I tried them in my A470 with the tan nozzle and, after much tinkering with ratios and using their own brand thinner I got there in the end and have to say that they cover really well and I'm very satisfied with the results.
I have to point out at this stage that I 'phoned Hannants at the time, who were extremely helpful, and put the clogging down to my relative inexperience when it comes to acrylics!! (just wish I'd written down the ratio that ended up working as I'm going to have to go through part of the experience again!!!)

Cheers

Iain
