D_IcarUS_ Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Hi guys and gals, As I almost use TAMIYA acrylics for my models, I would like to know if there is a way to slow the drying time of it? Any advices will be nice.... ;) Edited October 4, 2005 by D_IcarUS_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bavarian Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Simple: Use a Retarder. This slowes down the drying Time. You could use the Gunze-Sangyo retarder or look for a retarder in a Art shop. I am using a retarder for acrylics i have found in a local art shop. Just mix it with the Thinner, it work VERY well. In fact it´s just Glycerine / Glycol. Hope that helps... P.s.: if you go shopping in the art shop, a "flow enhancer" is also a very usefull and good stuff. Togehter with the retarder: No more Clogging of the airbrusch and a MUCH better result in airbrushing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeC Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Cryla "Acrylic flow Enhancer" (ie retarder) works fine for me, in conjunction with their own brand thinners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
