 Subject:  Re: Any thinner for Vallejo Air?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Mar 6, 2006
 From:  Michael Wawrow 
This is directly from their site.

They recommend the use of thier thinner.

THINNER FOR AIRBRUSHING
Thinner used to dilute Model Air colors to increase their fluidity and delay the drying time within the airbrush valves. We recommend the addition of a few drops of Model Air Thinner to the colors while airbrushing.
Characteristics: Transparent Medium.
Application: Mixed with Model Air.

Thinner: The thinner makes the colours more flexible yet does not affect their covering power, adherence and opacity. The addition of thinner marginally extends drying time within the airbrush mechanism, and airbrush experts recommend always adding a few drops of thinner to the colours. (Water and alcohol can also be used, but they will alter the properties of Air Model slightly).


Cheers, Michael
