    The one problem I have with this is that adding the dish soap creates bubbles in the paint when I mix and brush it on. Instead I made a different batch using isopropyl alcohol instead. It also breaks the surface tension without creating the bubbles.

  • @78dentedhead
    @78dentedhead 3 роки тому

    Awesome stuff, I will most definitely give this a try. I've been using a flow improver that came with my basic airbrush kit, which has worked pretty well as a thinner, but lacks the additional uses your magic potion has.
