Liquitex Professional Airbrush Effects Medium, 8-oz (5908) | Reduces Airbrush Clogging & Paint Buildup, Increases Transparency, Makes Paint Behave Like Watercolor, Wash or Stain

Good artwork supply

It's a great product, but very limited availability in India for such items. The packing was good, delivery took a bit of time but finally got it. Works well as medium for airbrushing. Only disappointment was the manufacturing date, I mean come on even regular paints have an expiry. This one is made in 2017 delivered to me in 2020, that's why one less star rating

Excellent product for thinning paints down evenly enough to be used for airbrush painting. Although a little pricey, still worth it because of the great results and experience I have had personally with the product. No blockages in airbrush and smooth operation overall. Everything considered an easy 4 on 5 !

Ok

Very good

Mi serviva un diluente per provare a dare ad aerografo le vernici Citadel. Con una miscela al 60% diluente e 40% di colore il risultato è ottimo e non ho riscontrato nessun problema di otturazione dell'aeropenna. Ho tentato anche una diluzione superiore impiegando il 70% circa di diluente per le vernici Citadel più dense e il risultato è stato ugualmente ottimo. Promosso a pieni voti.

Always a fabulous product

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.

As described. Good quality. Does the job.
