Tamiya Acrylic Retarder

I've got some and use it often - it's a great product.  When I mix it, it's usually no more than a drop or 2, and never exceeding a ratio of 10 parts paint to 1 part extender.  Never tried it with anything but Tamiya acrylics however.

Leo;

I live in Arizona and we have a pretty dry climate all the time.  I have tried many things and my current "formula" of choice is 1 drop of retarder (I use Golden's), 2 drops of Flo-Aid by Liquitex, and then bring in the paint.  I then thin as I think I need to based on the pressure and the color.  I still keep a swab nearby and clean the tip often.

I spray Tamiya, Vallejo, and Model Master and it works on all three brands.  I would assume the Tamiya would as well.

Thanks guys most helpful.

cheers Leo

I have two bottles but I haven't used them.  I mix Tamiya acrylics with Tamiya thinner 1:1 and have never experienced a dry tip or clogging.
