MIG Thinner Equivalents?
Posted by EBergerud on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 5:09 PM

MIG sells two solvents. The most widely used is "Thinner for Washes", the other is "Pigment Fixer." Either MIG has come up with entirely new solvents or these are premium brands of widely used products. I'm reasonably certain that Thinner for Washes is a kind of Mineral (or White) Spirit. (Doing nose tests on solvents is not pleasant and not very precise.) Pigment Fixer claims to be an "enamel fixer." Wonder if this might make it close to either enamel thinner of the type sold by Testors or maybe hardware store "Paint Thinner." There's an outside chance that Fixer is turpentine - I only have turpenoid which is oderless and thus of no use when comparing sniffs. Anyone add to the confusion here?
