Polly Scale Acrylics Through a 0.15mm Airbrush Nozzle


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of buying a Harder Steenbeck Infinity Solo airbrush but have a concern with the 0.15mm nozzle and how it will behave with Polly Scale acrylics. I thin the paint with a mixture of distilled water, Liquitex Flo Aid and Liquitex Retarder and usually have pretty good luck with my Iwata and its 0.35mm nozzle. I was wondering if anyone was shooting Polly Scale acrylics through a 0.15mm or so nozzle and would share their experience.

If you have a good retarder, you will probably be fine. Nine times out of ten, clogs from acrylics tend to be due to them drying in the tip and the retarding agent will help avoid that. Granted I've never used that particular brush, but the paint should thin to how you need it.
