dogsbody Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I was just going to do a little metallic acrylic paints experimenting, when I realized my Stormhost Silver has gone a bit thick and lumpy in the bottle. I put it the shaker for a few minutes, but it's still lumpy. What is the best thing to thin it down with? I have seen plenty of info to thin it for airbrushing, but I just want to brush it on.

Black Knight Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Unless they've changed the formula; try some alcohol, like meths or IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Thought Citadel were water based? Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 yes, but alcohol will soften nearly all acrylic paints, it will remove it from plastic. and in this case it will break down the lumps I revived a load of Citadel paints which had turned to near jelly by adding meths, No.3 son gave them to me when he headed to Uni. and I was able to make them usable again. I'm still using some of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
