I'm not sure what the mixture was, but it was close to 1:1 Iyanden to acrylic thinner, with slightly less thinner.<br /><br />Still had problems.<br /><br />Next up, Bubonic brown instead of Iyanden.Sigismundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741131805524691632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316161900911789744.post-80249103911989325742010-08-14T12:31:15.877-06:002010-08-14T12:31:15.877-06:00That's exactly it.

Often though, with the amount of time I spend trying to get the paint to come out properly, I think using a brush would be faster.<br /><br />Just to be clear, I'm not using a tool like the spray gun from GW. The airbrush I have has a double action trigger, which allows both the airflow and paint flow to be controlled. It comes with a variety of nozzles for different paints and tasks. One of the nozzles is meant for acrylic paint, but still doesn't handle the foundation paints too well.<br /><br />I also have the GW spray gun, but have not had any luck with it. The hose has a leak, and even with tape it still loses pressure.<br /><br />I will let you know how things turn out with a non foundation paint.Sigismundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741131805524691632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316161900911789744.post-86145610259734624292010-08-13T17:21:57.645-06:002010-08-13T17:21:57.645-06:00Sorry to hear your troubles with the airbrush, but...Sorry to hear your troubles with the airbrush, but it's good to know I'm not the only one with the exact same issue. <br /><br />For the stuff it works on, it turns out great, but I've spent more time trying to make the thing work right then actually spraying. <br /><br />The GW Airbrush is slightly more reliable than the Badger airbrush I got from Michaels, but the thing still gives me headaches. <br /><br />Let me know if the issue is fixed with the non-foundation paint, I'd be interested to hear.Hobby Sherpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680306639350966599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316161900911789744.post-7370287651589352322010-08-12T22:27:51.400-06:002010-08-12T22:27:51.400-06:00Well I don't know Fluff wise but I think silve...Well I don't know Fluff wise but I think silver would be nice.
