airbrush thinners and airbrush flow improver ??

[Guest]

120ml grey out of stock lol but ta for the heads up
Alan,
I've used Ultimate Primer - it's very good. Then, I tried Stynylrez Primer ( SMS have it in stock) when I couldn't get any UP, and I found it even better! It seems to suit the way I use my airbrush, pressure, distance etc. I'm afraid it's a matter of trying a few, and settling on the one which gives you the best results

I've always thought you should use thinner from the same manufacturer as the paint - if you use paint A with thinner B, and it doesn't work, who are you going to blame? Water seems to work well with all the acrylics I've tried though.

Also if you try flow improver, be aware that it slows the drying time, so spray thin coats and leave plenty of time between coats, or the paint will stay tacky for ages - don't ask how I know!

I'd blame me asi haven't got a scooby doo what I'm doing at mo !!

Dave I read that Ultimate primer is in fact Stynylrez primer, think it was on their web site. Use either now when available.

From the Scale modelling now website:
"These new primers from Ultimate Products is a collaboration between Ultimate and Badger in the USA whereby Ultimate is bringing in the Badger primer and making it available to the UK and European market. The product is from the Badger compound STYNYLREZ and the Ultimate Primer is a water-based acrylic polyurethane self-levelling primer.

What I like about these primers is that it comes ready-thinned so that you can just spray it or apply with a brush straight from the bottle. "

Alan , Ive had so much trouble with tip drying using both Mig Ammo and Vallejo that I now use Vallejo flow improver every time . The most important thing is the amount, 1 drop of improver to 10 drops of paint, any more and the paint will not adhere.

Peter cheers , as I had said I've used both, doesn't appear to be any difference, but the coverage and quality is really worth it ..
Just wondered if there was , as you never know when someone else repackages a brand for them selves .
