Galeria Fluid Retarder Advice

[Remodel_Remake]

Hi Folks

Just a quick question, when you add W&N Galeria Retarder to paints like xtracrylic or vallejo for spraying is it just a couple of drops or is there a ratio to be considered?

Never used it before, but I've heard it recommended quite a bit.

Cheers

I'll check tonight, when I can verify my recipe, but I believe it's 20-1 water-retarder. I put a drop or three in a milk lid and dip my brush as needed. For airbrushing I put a drop in the paint bowl and mix with the thinned paint. Works good with both Humbrol's and Vallejo's acrylics.

Just a few drops in the cup works well for me

20 to 1 sounds about right, too much and you can get strife.

It's good stuff a 250ml pot lasts a long time.

I've used it with Revell aqua as well as those already mentioned without problems.

Yep, 20-1 per the label.

Just a small drop would be sufficient
