I use 70% Isopropyl alcohol to thin Tamiya acylic paint and never have a problem .

Higgy,

That is what I have been using for the last couple of years and have never had a problem.

Tamiya and washer fluid?
Posted by Higgy on Saturday, April 11, 2009 3:08 PM

Just got my airbrush set up and running. I recall reading somewhere that you can use windshield washer fluid to thin tamiya acrylics.........

 Does it work or am I off my rocker??
