        Or do you have to thin it down? I’ve been looking at it today and it seems like its almost the same consistancy as my liquitex pain I have ready made for my airbrush. I’m no good at thining pain down enough for use in an airbrush without clogging it up. Just wondering if anyone knew?

        Mine says it should be the consistancy of milk. Like that helps since there is so many types of milk and vast array of thicknesses…Skim, to butter, who knows. I’m actually gonna try it tomorrow for the first time. I figure eventually I will figure it out. So, whatever your manual says I would follow. 🙂

          Depends on your airbrush I think. I use Golden’s airbrush medium to thin it even further- I wouldn’t recommend using water or you might end up with it beading up easily on your PYOs.

          I’ve used it straight but it tends to clog up the airbrush faster and I have to be super careful to keep the needle clean.

          Thanks Nam! That will help me a bit when I dig out of the snowy feild that has become my drive and front yard… 😯 Then I can get some thinner. I really don’t want to have to buy special paints. 😛
