                        I add just one small drop of Jet-Dry to acrylic paint for airbrushing or otherwise. It breaks the surface tension and changes the whole experience of acrylic painting for me. YMMV. I can't use acrylics without it. Black Eye [B)] It's like soap but a little better. Probably like retarder but cheaper.

                        A couple of 6-packs of Busch Lite. After drinking them you don't get upset with your mistakes while working on your model.Wink [;)] Of course, if you didn't drink them you probably wouldn't make those mistakes. Big Smile [:D]

                        Great job, the list is up to around 25 items now!!!

                        I just remembered another one. Steel wool (SOS pads anyway) can sometimes be found in grocery stores.

                        aluminuminumum foil is useful for making little paint cups. When you need just a couple drops for detail parts. It has other uses too but that's what I mostly use it for.
