Just a quick word - I may have found the Holy Grail !
An Acrylic thinner that truly works with all Acrylic paints.
I have shot Tamiya, Vellejo, Lifecolour and Humbro(Acrylic)l through my AB (Iwata Custom -Micro) using Ultimate thinner. No Clumping and little tip dry.
As anyone will know if they have done it - Tamiya thinner is modified ISO and mixing it with Vellejo or Lifecolour is a recipe for a gunged up AB. See what you think.
Note- Not tried Gunze as I dont have any .
A quick google search brought up these pages
an pretty thorough online review at intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php
and the product/company page at http://www.umpretail.com/
this stuff looks like it is THE answer, to me,as does the cleaner
note, that reviewer did test Tamiya and Gunze Aqueous, and gives a thinner/paint ratio in his charts
I am going to take the plunge on these two products, and the Badger Primer mentioned here on FSM,it would be great to cut down to just three products for all these needs from the Chemistry Set I have collected so far.

Looks interesting-would eliminate having three or more different acrylic thinners to keep track of.
One question-is anyone in the U.S. carrying this thinner?
