thinning Tamiya putty?

Post by HAVOC »

I have the white putty from Tamiya, I might get some Tamiya gray putty also. What can I use to thin both types of putty?

I use cellulose thinner, works well and dries fast.

I use Tamiya Laquer Thinner ( guess thath it is Cellulosic thinner ).

about TET ...well I noticed that when apllied on top of Tamiya putty or Liquid surface primer it thin them ... I use it carefully when I need to glue something after Primers or putty is apllied , about the smell it would be the same ...a nasty one must say :P
Cheers ,
