Acrylic/Poly Thinner X20A 8.5 oz

While X20A does what it's supposed to do very well, using it for thinning and airbrush cleaning is an expensive proposition. I found a home brew recipe on the internet that is easy to concoct, is much less expensive, and (for me, at least) works just as well. I'll be using the home mix for cleaning my airbrush and the X20A exclusively for thinning, but when I finish this bottle I'll go to the home made mix for both cleaning and as a thinner. PRO: Works very well. CON: Too pricey. I recommend it if you want to Tamiya products exclusively.

This was literally formulated by chemists to work well with Tamiya acrylics and it does. It's not pricey at all considering how much thinned paint is actually used when airbrushing. Having around 3-4 bottles of this stuff should let you thin the entire range of Tamiya gloss acrylics and a good amount of the flat colors, too. It sprays perfectly smooth with a 1:1 ratio in my Iwata Revolution CR. I use 12 psi.

This is the best cleaner I have used yet. I just can't paint without it. Pros- I love Tamiya paints and us them when ever I can. There cleaner is the best. I even us it on my Testors paints. Cons- none. It might be a little high in price, but saves a lot in replacing paint brushes, paint guns and parts.
