Thinning Vallejo Paints

[Lawton Maner]

I am looking for experiences of members thinning Vallejo Paints with something other then their thinner.

I use Windex followed by a water flush to clean my air brushes today because it is a cleaner with ammonia.  Works well for me (your mileage may very!)

I watched a YouTube clip a few years ago on spraying Vallejo without blockage.

It works well and I've used it since.

2:1 water:iso-propanol with 0.5% glycerine

Thanks.

How much of this mix do you add to the paint?  I guess you get the glycerine at a pharmacy?

Thin to suit.

Glycerine is pretty easy to get.  I think I got a small bottle from the supermarket, although I have around half of a 5 litre bottle I'd give away if you collected.  One of the 3Dprint resins I used to use needed to be cured under glycerine.
