How To Mix Thinner For Cheap Acrylic Paint

[@andyl5645]

Thank you for making it a short video and getting right to the point. So many people try to over explain everything (it drives me mad as a hatter). Spot on. Keep up the good work!

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

I know. I hate 30 minute videos with five minutes of content. Thanks for watching!

[@rcs_rc_az961]

Good video, thank you. Question, what could one notice with your thinner vs the windshield washer fluid (not windex)? Thx!

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

I have never tried wiper fluid, so I don't know.

[@gabifishing642]

Well done nice work buddy, I subscribed to your channel.

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

Thanks for the sub!

What type of respirator do you have to use to spray that stuff through your airbrush

[@nickcampana5637]

Great video. Will the paint still have a consistency to use a regular paint brush with? Looking for a smooth finish as if it's airbrushed. Thanks in advance

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

The paint will be thinner, but brush application cannot match the thin, smooth application that an airbrush does.

[@Sophie_519]

It’s always so confusing. In Australia. Denatured alcohol is generally called methylated spirits, while shellac, while also a solvent, is a completely different product. I assume your thinner would be much more potent than those made with IPA.

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

Very good question that I cannot answer!

[@secret_8036]

Can this be used for hand painting?

[@EndlessSims3]

Need to know in once’s please ty

[@geh3505]

Can you substitute isopropyl alcohol for the denatured alcohol ?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

Yes, that will work.

[@djmeatman]

Great video

Thanks for watching!

[@micjones1116]

Is this for airbrush clean up also

[@boomdoom2334]

What's the ratio for paint and thinner?

[@jillgilson3900]

Can you use turpentine oil or white spirit instead of the shellac alcohol?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

I don't think I would try it unless I was outside, with a respirator on, and a fire extinguisher close by.

[@scottdoleac5651]

thank you!

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

You're welcome!

[@seanmorison4076]

your videos are really good

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

Glad you like them!

[@geh3505]

Can you use isopropyl 91% alcohol instead of the denatured ?

[@djmeatman]

If you don’t have denatured alcohol you can use 70-99% isopropyl alcohol.

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

You can use the iso alcohol, but it is basically diluted with water, but you don't know how much, hense the 70-99% label. It takes the formula proportions out of adjustment and makes mixing a guessing game.

Great Video and Information......Thanks

[@roshinisekar1210]

Can we do this without glycerine?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

Glycerin seeps the mixture smooth and flowing without spattering.

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

Ok 👌 got the thinner . Ty. How much of that thinner do mix with craft paint ?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

In general, you thin the paint to a consistency about that of heavy cream. It will take some experimenting to see what thickness works with your particular airbrush. Thanks for watching!

[@alexmaiz3903]

thanks for the recipy!!!!!

[@04KVC1600]

thank you

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

You're welcome

[@boysilvia15]

after mixing the mixture, i found out that the mixture become murky. Is this normal and usable? do advice on this thanks.

[@AjKaArjun]

boysilvia15 yes it becomes murky because of water and alcohol reaction. It should eventually clear up.

[@boysilvia15]

@@AjKaArjun sorry to disturb you again, how long will it takes to clear away??

[@dancoy4529]

Hi Chris, Question what type of glycerin are using ? is it vegetable-based ?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

The glycerin I use in the video is from Soap Expressions, Item #376574. It is 100% vegetable based. I got it at Hobby Lobby.

[@czowiekznikad2062]

This alcohol is ethanol?

[@chrismihulka-nwfishingstuf3852]

Ethanol is a purer form and works the same. Thanks for watching.
