That is so strange…

…I’ve never had that happen once, with any paint.

Seattle has just about the same environmental condition as the UK. Get’s wet but doesn’t get humid when it’s warm.

Pour a little glob on a piece of cardboard and leave it for a few days and see if that drys and hardens.

Congrats on making Mult-media!

I’ll try that, but I usually aim for a thinner coat than that when spraying![;)]

Sorry couldn’t resist that.

Thanks, it seem to have taken a long time to hit the 500 post mark.

I’ve been airbrushing for just on 2 years now ,using gunze acrylics always liked the finish . I thinned the paint with isopropyl alcohol 50/50 ; Tried tamiya acrylics a couple of times and they were ok too…But some tamiya colors are a poor match for [FS] Federal Standard colors. I was curious to read tweety’s comments on spraying Pledge-one go through his A4709 airbrush ; This product is suppose to be similar to Future ,however when i tried using Pledge-one go , I think it ruined my airbrush…damaging the seals around the trigger mechanism !! The only time over 2 years I changed from spraying acrylics . I always throughly cleaned my airbrush and nozzles after each use… From now on I’ll stick to using gunze and tamiya clear acrylics. I’m currently deciding to replace my aztek A4709 with either an Iwata revolution CR or a Badger 150/360 ? Depends on the price difference and the availability of spare parts in Australia.

i say go with the Revolution if you’re spraying metallics, go with the 360 if you spray LOTS of paint or need little details, and go for the 150 overall, i recommend the Hp-CS (everyone uses it) and the 155 because spare parts are so cheap.

I had no problems spraying Pledge through the Aztek, considering it is an ACRYLIC floor polish!![:)]

But using the Aztek you have to be sure to clean it out THOROUGHLY, or else it will gumm stuff up.

For the Life of me I cannot find Gunze Sangyo on the shelf looking pretty in the U.S. lol. I am ordering mine online. Will be the first time I have used them, look forward to trying them. This Forum has gt me set up well for them when they get here.
