Someone suggested that Tamiya may have changed their formula and can no longer be thinner with lacquer thinner. I got a gloppy oily mess this time.

Building the perfect model---just not quite yet
Which brand lacquer thinner did you use? Not all lacquer thinners are the same, so it does matter.
I still thin Tamiya paint with Tamiya's own lacquer thinner without problems (for airbrushing, at least).
I used Klean Strip. The old can was bought a while back. new can is exactly the same. Given the result I am guessing they have changed something in their formula and it's not the paint. Used alcohol on the last build without issue.
I just used some recently-purchased Tamiya XF-1 with Mr. Leveling Thinner last night without problem.
