How to thin and clean colors

[MajorTom2004]

Hi all.

Some time ago, I started to search for information on how to dilute the different putties, primers and colors, how to apply and clean the tools afterwards. For whatever reason, it is quite difficult to keep this all in mind, is it my age or the thinners that help to forget ?

For all materials I frequently use, I collected this in a chart along the workflow of building models, tested and adjusted it and extend the information when necessary (after ordering new Ultimate thinner and cleaner, for example).

For me, this chart is very helpful, maybe it does help other members here as well.

So, if you find errors in words or expressions (I am native Swissgerman, not English), when you have finished laughing , forgive me and send me a notification what and how to fix it. You can also notify me when you have a good idea for extra information.

All values are approximate, they work ok for me and my airbrushes, use them as start values and adjust until they are ok for you.
I have uploaded the chart as a graphic, if you want to have it as an Excel (in English and German), PM me, I'll send a copy by mail then.



Have fun, and may the glue be with you!

Howdy,

This is exactly what I needed. No joke, I'm grinning like a possum eating my moms sweet potatoes.

Cheers from Texas!
