Thanks for all the fantastic content you produce and the way you present it without coming across as a self-appointed 'expert.' You genuinely know your stuff, Robert. I find those who claim to be experts seldom are as knowledgeable as they think they are.
This country (uk!) over flows with “experts” and “ lighthouses in the desert”, most of which are politicians!🤔!
Thank you for t he kind words, it's very much appreciated 👍
STANDING OVATION !!!! My goodness what a Fantastic video my friend, Thank you soo very much, you are a wealth of knowledge and dedication and it's very much appreciated. Can't wait for the next video, Thank you again. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏
Settle down there buddy... Dont get a hard on
Fantastic explanation, and now I finally know what milk consistency is. Thank you!
Excellent demonstration! Thanks. Next, could you talk about air pressure?
Back to tha Benchhhhh!! See it?
Ah, thinners, and thinning. I was taught to tge skim milk trick ages ago buy guys who were in to customer car paint jobs. A few of them were into scale models, and thats what told to thin my enamel paints to for air brushing. Still i like you tips about tge one and go thinner for all solvent paints. Great video and congratulations to the future winner of the paint booth.
You are a wealth of knowledge good sir. With so many types of paint this stuff gets confusing, but you always find a way to help clear things up🙂
Another neat topic would be tips for painting flexible stuff, like latex or rubbers masks. Those things can be tough to paint on without a good knowledge of what sticks to what. Lord knows my chemistry isn't good enough to get it right without peeling or clogging stuff up😄
Wow what a break down of thinners! Thanks for the information and always a great resource to go back to when I’m scratching my head 😂
This channel has been a great help as I'm getting back into doing models and painting. Got a chuckle when my father recommended the channel as I was already subbed.
Your father is a wise man
YAAAAAS! I love comprehensive paint usage guides!
7:23 Like Ron Swanson said, skim milk is just water lying about being milk.
Thanks so much, as always. This one gets bookmarked for future reference.
Personally, I have never had a problem with hardware store lacquer thinner or paint thinner on models. Acetone is only used to final clean my airbrushes & ungluing CA adhesives. I have never had any luck with Vallejo paints. I paint outdoor trains & I have sprayed thinned solvent outdoor paints. My train cars & buildings are built from wood, styrene, & PVC. I've also have sprayed Krylon paint line on my models. Also I have gotten some paint ideas from my HO club where factories & city buildings require a lot of paint. That's my story & I'm sticking to it! Don't agree try on scrap to see what happens. Good job Rex.
so i broke a cheap airbrush when i was cleaning it and broke off the nozzle, then i pulled out the Gaahleri that i bought during your black friday video, and i totally noticed the difference in quality and ease of use and how much less paint i was using.
I continue to learn so much with each video you post. Outstanding sir. Simply outstanding.
With there being so many diff paints its easy to see how it can be overwhelming to people new to the hobby, but you always do a great job guiding us on our journey to painting !
Absolutely love these videos, all those thinners are gone on Amazon btw
Very underrated channel, we are blessed to have you in the community.
Thank you Vortex, it's much appreciated
Another awesome video. There are so many different paints and thinners today that it can get pretty confusing. Having this type of informative guide to fall back on really is a fantastic reference. Thank you again for another very informative video in which you impart your vast knowledge with the rest of us. Take care!!
Great info on thinning paints! Thanks Rob!
In a new large forest of paints & thinners, thank you for being my compass 🙂👋
⚗️🧪🩸🧫🖌️
Thank you so much for this guide! I take more crib notes from your videos than any other youtuber I subscribe to. Great job!
Another fantastic video sir! Thank you for your continued contribution to this fun hobby!
That was a great video! I learn something new every time I watch your channel . Thanks for this!
This channel is only 1 of the two airbrush channel I watch.
How thin???
It depends on your jet size and pressure.
My only tip:
Test on something you dont care about before you attempt to spray the item.
Another great video and learning experience. Appreciate you and what you do for the modeling community!
Great video as always. Again... I really like that you revisit the basics.
All the information you give us is so helpful!! Thanks for the great videos!!
Amazing video!!! Clear useful information with excellent visual representation. Could not ask for anything better. Thank you.
Another great video on thinning paint and what is available in the hobby.
Great Video! I have issues with thinning my Vallejo paints. It usually stops spraying because it clogs. Although I did recognize I have a leak in the cap. I get it to work eventually. I even used lacquer thinner on a test piece, so it would not clog on me. It worked pretty good, and I found out you are not supposed to do that. So I went back to using acrylic thinner.
Thank you Barbatos, Very educational! You have simplified a very complex subject. Well done!
Super useful to have this all aggregated! Many thanks!
Awesome video. I always look forward to seeing then they are very helpful. Please keep sharing your knowledge with us.
Enjoy watching your videos. Learning a lot.
Your yt is a treasure trove. love your style, very straight to the bench. just starting out on the hobby.
Can you PLEASE...Pllllleeeeeaaaaasssssseeeee make a tutorial video on how to snap your finger to clear your workbench.
Robert, thank you for this very informative video. It will be a continuing reference for me.
Great info on what to have on hand for thinners. Nice that one with the wild label works well across so many paints.
Thanks for the time you have put into the channel and the hobby. Im just getting back into and looking for the easy, best paint to use both brush and air.
Bravo 👏🏻
Thank you Robert as I really needed to learn from the paint master on mixing paints.
Thank you Sir
Thank you so much for that break up video! So useful, as all of your videos 😊
First, Bill up at Hobby Center Canada just sent me your way, I'm so glad he did because this is exactly the video I need. I stopped building in the 90's, retired in 2022 and I'm reentering hobby. However I feel like Rip Van Winkle due to the evolution of all the materials.. I have a small walk in hobby shop but it is mostly RC. However they have Vallejo and Tamyia. On my first build I have been all over the place, ( awful ). Vallejo has air and regular formula, Tamiya nice colors but couldn't get viscosity right. I'm a lot more confident now that I have watched your video. I want to review the application of isopropyl alcohol again with Tamyia and the other solvents. Once again you have been a lifesaver as I try to get my skill level back up. I'm not into a lot of weathering yet, that and panel lines look interesting. The other problem is kit cost. I have a nice stash but current kits have really jumped in price. That's why I found Hobby Center, Bill has some good pricing on auctions. My go to paint in the past was Humbrol but most of my 30 year old collection is pretty much unusable Thanks again, Cheers from the Pacific Northwest USA
I have been using Mission thinner with Vallejo acrylics, getting great results.
I use Mr Color with Vallejo and it works pretty well.
Thanks , I sure as hell going to start using other brands of paint.
Awesome advice. I haven’t been having great results with acrylics, and now I know why.
Another great video. Good job.
Great video topic! I'll have to fully check it out later.
A thousand thumbs up and more!!! My best to Ollie, Thank You
Super video! Createx is the one that drives me nuts when I try to spray it.
Thanks again
Nice little informative video Robert thanks I appreciate it now I have a better idea on how about to thin my paints
Thanks for the time you invest on are videos you make for us
Great video to save in my archive for later watching. I also wanted to know if you can on another video of course maybe turn some of these paints into Panel lining paints due to the different colors you could add instead of black, grey, and brown. I wanted to turn Red Vallejo paint cause the red pen paint was god awful color of red. Didn't give me that Red vibe I was going for which I wanted a color style of red to be Barbartos color Red. I was working on a mini version of him and I wanted the panel lining to have that same red that Vallejo does have.
Awesome, very helpful video. Thank you.
Great information!
Another helpful video, thank you!
You are always a Godsend my friend.....
I must save this video for future reference. Great tutorial as always, sometimes it gets confusing but slowly and steadily it must sink in.
Thank you for doing this video. It was so informative, l really enjoy it learning the thinners like these to use.
Very well done, learned a lot. Thank you.
You provide, “honest-to-God” solid and sound information for the hobbiest , regardless of the specific area of interest. Your exuberance and sincerity are genuine brother. Come to the IPMS Nats in Wisconsin this year as long as your dear wife can get around 🙏🏼👍🏻
Thanks ,I'm learning a lot from your videos.
Excellent tutorial, Robert. The first 6 months of airbrushing for me was really tough because I wasn't thinning my paints correctly. This video will help a lot of beginners from making that mistake.
Really cool 👍
Now that's a lot of solvent right there. Be safe sir !
And nice info using brand and showing how much runny the paint must be
Thanks for a great demonstration
You're welcome Travis
This was the best video I have learned a lot. Thank you
Another great video buddy, thank you for all you do😊👍
You're nothing short of a godsend
This was a great video. I totally have been having issues with glow paints and paints with perl
Great video and advice as always. When mixing small amounts of paint I use tattoo ink cups. Very small so much less plastic waste 😊
I am just starting with an airbrush, really enjoy your videos so clear and informative
Thank you Scott
Great video, thank you.
Very informative video. I am still amazed at the number of paints available. Makes me want to try them all😄 I do thin my solvent paints with lacquer thinner though. However, I want to start using the leveling thinner soon. I believe it's similar to lacquer thinner with a retarder added in, correct?
I do use your blends for acrylics (water based) both thinner & cleaner and they work great. I always look forward to your latest videos👍
This is going to help me out a lot. I have seen some channels that recommend mineral spirts for just about paints, but after watching this i am starting to have doubts on it.
Very informative kept up the great videos
If it's useful: I always have use Vallejo, and I use "Glassex" as a thinner, which is some alcohol based glass and windows cleaner. I've never have any problem with it, none at all. I also have use it with AK acrylics (regular and 3rd gen) with equally good results. Interestingly, it doesn't work with MIG acrylics (I have to use the brand thinner with MIGs).
Here's hoping all of you are doing well.
Im going to echo everyone’s comments here and say the same thing, awesome video! A lot of questions I had were answered here. Recently started modeling again (after a 40 year absence) and was wondering about thinning different paints to use in an airbrush. Appreciate these videos very much!
I haven't been able to put as much time into painting as i want, so I'm still pretty green. I recently had issue with Vallejo plugging up my Badger. From watching this, I've got two things.
1. I'm still not thinning my paint enough.
2. I'm not using the right thinner.
Thanks, man. I appreciate your videos.
Thank you, this is a brilliant guide, takes away some the mysteries of paint thinning.
thanks for the great info
Cool Video Thanks Robert
Amen brother
Great break down of thinners and what works. I have to say, I almost panicked when you broke out all the different thinners. I got a little worried that I'd have to just find one paint brand so I don't get everything mixed up. That Mr. Color Leveling Thinner works for all solvents is amazing and I should have realized that I've seen you mostly use it in all your tests.
Great video as usual! I found out something about the types of thinner. I was like you, I would use Mr. Hobby leveling thinner for all my lacquers/solvent paints, but I found out that for metallic and matte paints a non leveling fast drying thinner works the best. When I used the leveling thinner for matte paints they always ended up with a sating finish instead of matte. I started reading and supposedly the longer it takes the paint to dry the shinier it ends up when cured and for metallic it's kind of the opposite the longer it takes to dry it may make the paint look duller because it gives the metallic flakes time to settle at the bottom of the paint layer.
So I tried the regular Mr Hobby thinner and my matte paints started to look matte and for the metallic I tried 99% Iso Alcohol and Mr. Hobby Rapid Thinner both gave me good results but I prefer Rapid Thinner mainly because for me it's easier to find than 99% Iso in my area for some reason.
Very informative video thanks
The mad lad did it
Great video! was trying to find the IMPRESA paint thinner here in Canada and they what $70 for an 8oz bottle on Amazon.
have you ever thought of using plastic Test Tubes for mixing/thinning paints with your vortex mixer? which was desinged for mixing the contents of test tubes?
I quit buying plastic cups. Now use a glass shot glass, wash it out, reuse, and has measure marks on side...Leveling thinner stinks to high heaven, and also trying to stay with pure acrylics only...
That is the same thing that I do it is a waste of money to buy plastic cups
🌨️❄️😂
I use these glasses i got from a dessert i bought, same principle just larger diameter
I do the exact same thing lol, less waste.
so many different brands, for color choices!
No matter what happens its ALWAYS good to have a refresher video on the thinning of ones paints. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Can the flow improver be used with all the paints?
Disposable jello shot cups work from the dollar store for mixing. I had the same issue with those medicine cups.
I love all the work and effort you put inf or us, you truly go above and beyond what other TH-camr's in the hobby do. You explain, show the products, demonstrate, go through them all, then do an overview of results, and final thoughts/comparisons. Both of my airbrushes I bought because of your videos (first was a handheld compressor and cheap airbrush for people getting into it, the one I have now is the Gaahleri GHAD-39 and I love it). Not sure if you have any advice for this, or if anyone does, but every time I open up my Vallejo model color/air or my AMMO acrylics, no matter what I do there is paint all over the tip, paint smeared int the cap, and often with the model color, paint will be seeping up and out of the top so I have to wipe it with a paper towel a few times or give it a gentle squeeze to get it to stop. I'm worried I'm wasting paint, and it's a hassle to clean up the tip and wipe out the cap every time. I'm not sure if this happens to anyone else or not, but I never see it in any of the TH-cam videos I have seen with these paints in them. The Air and AMMO paints which are pre-thinned don't have the issue with paint seeping out but do always have the messy tips.
When your done, bang the bottle on your desk a couple times, hitting the bottom. This will force the paint near the top back down, then open the cap and wipe what's there. Squeeze it if you need to clear the tip
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you! You could write a book with all the things you know for this hobby.
I’ve had a bear of a time finding something that works with Humbrol acrylic (they come in a little dropper) and Mission Models acrylics. I hope this thinner works with either of these. Alcohol really plays havoc like you described in your video so I’m eager to see the results.
Hey Rex
Your videos are always SO informative and well done... I have learned a LOT from watching your channel, and thank you for your generosity!
if my SKILLS would improve, then I could use the paint/equipment better
FIRST RATE, as always
mk
Do you have a favorite water-based acrylic for car bodies? I know you prefer lacquers, but I was thinking about trying out an acrylic, since I've never tried one.
I'm glad you showed the price tag for the thinner... I live close to A & A, went there last night and bought their last bottle of Leveling Thinner... lol...
Oh no, you took my last bottle, I let you in on my secret place to buy it 😬 just kidding, say hi to Rich and John when you're there 👋
@@barbatosrex9473 Well, because of a certain bridge that may need replacing, and my extremely close proximity to it, my trips to Warwick have been limited... lol
Ak 3rd gen drove me nuts. Clogged the airbrush really fast. Tried a mix with 80 percent retarder and 20 thinner. Worked much better. I think you made a video about that 👍
