Brilliant info Bryan! 75 year old artist here needing to thin craft paint for using in jumbo refillable acrylic markers with 15 mm fiber tips. Paint needed to be "ink" consistency which then allows me to grab it with a stiff stippling brush from the fiber marker tip in small controlled amounts to apply in very detailed work on black surface canvas. I did add one drop of alcohol to this most recent recipe for mold growth inhibition and after 2 weeks it is still mold free with no odor. Feeling so fortunate to have found you on line quite by accident and your down to earth style with such usable info keeps me inspired to create every day. From one experimenter to another..... Thank you again 🙏👏
its funny, this is exactly the type of thing that will actually change the world. People working hard for their community to thrive. You enable and enliven our passion brother! Blesssss youuuuuu
I've always used straight washer fluid with no issues. That said I have everything on hand to try this out. I've moved away from acrylics over the last few years for various reasons and have a vented spray booth. Still nice to have a new trick to add to the book. Thanks for sharing!
New to Airbrushing. Hoping to get my daughter involved as she is growing up with painting. Plan to merge rock tumbling/lapidary, crystal growing, epoxy resins/moulds, 3D printing, and jewelry making and models to see what kind of trouble we get into. Great information. Thank you for sharing your experiences online.
Great video! Does the glycerin only affect drying time or does it also improve flow? I don’t need my airbrush paint to dry slow so I’m wondering if leaving out the glycerin will change more than the drying time
My hobby space is in my house with my family, so I try to keep the toxic stuff down, and IPA can be pretty nasty when in vapor form. I have played around with PGA, but it's more expensive than what I want to spend. I even considered denatured alcohol but the additives in it are as problematic as IPA. Thank you appreciate you watching!

That sounds like an absolute blast!

Yes, glycerin in and of itself is also a wetting agent and helps with flow.
The eye solution must have low surface tension.
Is it a problem if the rinse aid foams up a bit when stirred?
I use rinse aid and rubbing alcohol mix. I never use water in my homemade thinners. If my paints dry too fast then I will use a drop of glycerin.
