im not trying to open a can of worms here my fellow modellers, but how can anybody enjoy spraying polly scale or model master acryl paints through their airbrush? since ive tried tamiya im hooked! minimal clogging, tip dry, and all around frustration. i have a few bottles of polly and mm acryl hanging around the hobby room with thiers heads hung low, wondering if they'll ever get used. so, i look at them, open them up, stir them thouroughly, thin them with the witches brew i found on this forum ( you know the ones, 50% distilled water 50% denatured alchohol, add a touch of flowaid and a dab of kodak flo film......or thin it with 90% iso alchohol......or put some acrylic retarder in there man ...........or.......well, you get the picture) and i get essentially the same results; instead of stopping 12 times in 5 minutes to clear tip dry or clogging, (oh yeah, i strain my paints fellows) i have to stop only 11 times. i open a bottle of tamiya acrylics, smell it as if i just opened a can of foldgers coffee (ok, i might be a little wierd), stir it, thin it, and im off and painting and have to stop and clean the tip of tip dry 1 time in 5 minutes maybe. my airbrush is kinda like morrison the cat, it wont just spray any kind of paint, only the best...... TAMIYA ACRYLIC!!! maybe the pigment is ground finer in tamiya.
call me what you will fellows, but i would like to here some feed back. i read quite a bit on this forum about successful users of these brands. they are easy to aquire in my area, but oh the aggrevation of use man! i could have bought the whole line of tamiya acrylics with the money ive thrown away buying additives for polly and mm acryl. thanks fellows
