Bob Boring et al --
Try thinning acrylic paints like Polyscale with isopropyl alcohol instread of
water. It goes on smoother.
That said, I have had airbrush clean-up problems with acrylics. Someone on
this e-list -- Michael Eldridge? -- told me how to avoid this, but I forgot,
having gone back to solvent-based paint sprayed outdoors.
I have discovered to my chagrin that "old" Floquil thinned with "new" Floquil
Airbrush Thinner doesn't work well, and "new" Floquil thinned with Dio-Sol
doesn't work well. Floquil thinned with Scalecoat thinner doesn't work well,
and Scalecoat thinned with Floquil Airbrush Thinner doesn't work well. I forget
which one of these combinations it was, but one of them took a month to dry
without tackiness.
Someone on one of the Sn3 e-lists suggested using hardware-store laquer
thinner works with all solvent-based model paints, and several others on that
e-list echoed the same opinion. Maybe it's time for me to try this...
