PollyScale is so thin there is usually no reason to thin it at all.  On the rare occasion that I do thin it I just do what it says on the bottle and use water.

I haven't used that type of paint before, but I found that alcohol works better than water for thinning. I have also heard that windex works pretty good to, but I haven't tried that one yet. Good luck.

Hi,
the best thing I have found is Tamiya Acrylic Thinner (X-20A). Water will do at a push, but I have read on here that the Tamiya thinner has retarder in it so there is less chance of it clogging up your airbrush. I've had no problems with clogging since I started using it, whereas I did when I was experimenting with water as a thinner. I always put a bit of thinner through at the end of each colour as well, just to clean the airbrush out.

Polly Scale paint thinner?

Just picked up my first bottle of Polly Scale acrylic paint and I need to know what I should thin it with for airbrushing. I usually use Tamiya thinner or filtered water, but just wanted to make sure I don't mess up my airbrushing jobSmile [:)].
