Key Features of Createx 4021 Reducer:
Improved Flow and Leveling: The Createx 4021 Reducer is designed to break down the surface tension of water in the paint, promoting better flow and leveling. This results in a smoother application, reducing brush marks and spray irregularities for a flawless finish.
Versatility: Compatible with all Createx paints and clears, the 4021 Reducer can be used for a variety of applications, from fine art to automotive painting. It is suitable for use with both airbrushes and spray guns, making it a versatile addition to your airbrushing toolkit.
Slower Evaporation Rate: Compared to the 4011 Reducer, the 4021 Reducer has a slower evaporation rate. This allows the paint to flow and level more effectively, enhancing the finish by reducing tip-dry and improving the blending of colors.
Ease of Use: Simply mix the 4021 Reducer with your Createx paints at a ratio of 10-30% per volume, depending on your desired consistency and application method. For optimal performance, allow the mixture to acclimate for 10 minutes before spraying.
Reduces tip-dry: Never before we had such a low, almost zero tip-dry with water-based acrylic paint!
Thanks for your product!!
You're welcome! Happy painting!
Looking forward to trying this new product!!
Looking forward to trying this out once its available in the UK 👍
This New Reducer 4021 is Magick✨ I already try it in my Airbrush Classes and Personal Projects and works Awesome!!
“No Airbrush Tip Dry” 🤩
Thanks, Gerald! We're happy to hear that!
Sounds great Gerald! Cant wait to test it. How does it work? Special ingredients? Are they toxic? Are there certain safety precautions that must be observed?
What nozzle sizes have you tried it with? What happens if more than 30% reducer is added?
You can read through the safety data sheets on the 4021 at the spraygunner website. I read through them and it looks quite safe but you should always wear a respirator when spraying paints.
What ratio are you using? I still get tip dry
@@newarthh it has warning label about irritant, "Methoxy propanol" definitely fan blowing overspray away from you + well ventilated is on the TDS. Obviously a mask is best
Createx TDS says you can add less and get same performance as 4011..."Both 4011 Reducer and 4021 Reducer can be used with any Createx paint and are generally added to colors at the same volume, although due to its ability to improve flow and leveling more than 4011 Reducer, 4021 Reducer can be added in less volume to Createx paints."
one amazing thing is "4021 Reducer can be added to any Createx paints and stored for an indefinite time period (meaning the reduced mixture can last in a good, sprayable condition for several weeks if not months) when the reduced paint mixture is capped air-tight and stored in a cool, dry environment kept away from direct light."
Great video!
Glad 4021 has hit the shelf. Createx tech support mentioned to me a couple of weeks ago to expect this soon. I struggle with airbrushing 6013 autoborne silver on model cars. This should help me based on my discussion with Createx. Will order 4021 tomorrow.
it will help! Thank you for your business.
Same i struggle even with 0.5 tips to use createx (4050/autoborne, rest are fine). It frequently tipdries and clogs with autoborne even with 20-25% and leaves lots of marks in the airbrush thatvsre difficult to clean. A bit of an agressive retarder would have been great to reduce the tip dry and clogs in smaller airbrushes.
Very cool, we use it in Germany too. Very good stuff!
sensacional sempre o melhor pro artistas, Createx Colors.
this is wonderful. More please
I can't wait to try I buy stuff from your eBay store
just ordered some. i use uvls as a binding agent for dry flaking sometimes, i imagine this would be a good use case for that so i have more time to work with the clear while it's tacky.
In terms of metallic paints like wicked gold, I'm guessing this isn't ideal, right? from my experience with lacquer using slower reducers causes the flake to settle before the paint is flashed off, and im assuming it would be similar using a slower reducer for acrylics as well.
thank you for your order! So we've tested it with several different metallics and pearls. It does delaying drying time but not as much to ruin the look of most metallics so for most it definitely makes sense. However, do not use it with ChromaAir CA200 aluminum or CA201 gold, it dulls them.
@@SprayGunner thanks for the reply! im excited to try it out, dry tip was the biggest downside to using acrylics, but for my situation acrylics are all i can reasonably use right now. cheers!
I still struggle with 4021 tip dry
How do you use your trigger? Important is to spray air-paint-air. Some spray their airbrush as a spray can. Then tip dry will come rather fast. Try to end with air, even with a trigger airbrush 👍
Would you also recommend this reducer for miniature acrylic paint like Vallejo or Citadel? I currently use Vallejo thinner and flow improver with a Patriot (0.3mm), but that was just what I started with, not for any dedication to the brand
We didn't test all the brands yet, but yes - this reducer helps other water-based acrylic paints as well.
I always hear a 1:1 as a goto ratio for mixing wicked colors. It sounds to me that with this new 4021 you do not need to do a 1:1? Is that correct? Do you get the same result with 30% 4021 as you would with say a 50% mix of 4011? Thanks guys 😊
Would the 4021 reducer work with the autoborne silver sealer 6013 and 6000 or do i still gotta use the 4011 recuder?
Yes, it will work
Sounds awesome. But what am I going to do with the 64 ozs of 4011 sitting on my shelf? 😂
Just use it 🤙🏻
pour some drinks up for the boys!! 😂
4011 is good, it's the 4012 that's icky
Ciao. Ho una domanda da farre visto che siete i miei fornitori. Sul mio H&S Ultra 2024 posso montare gli stessi Aghi, Duse e Cappuccio aperto dell' Evolution CRPlus due in uno? Se si come faccio ad aggiungerli al carrello (dove trovo i codici degli articoli) e poi chiudere l'ordine aperto? Gaetano Esposito da Taranto Italy. Grazie

Ciao. Abito in una città con 40 gradi e 50/60% di umidità. Colori Airbrush color (diluiti con acqua distillata) e H&S Ultra 2024 (che come sai ha il tappo chiuso). C'è un sistema per evitare che l'ago si secchi velocemente? Intervenire con un pennellino ogni 20 secondi è veramente snervante.. Puoi consigliarmi qualcosa da inserire nel prossimo carrello? Grazie.
Yes. Try using 4021 instead of distilled water.
I bought a bunch of large 32oz bottles of Wicked colours and some went bad in a couple on months. They smell like rotten eggs, and I mean terrible. They went backwards with that line. WTH did they put in it? It also settles out quickly in the bottle, the old Createx didn't. The only thing that could have improved the traditional Createx I is a better lightfast number for pigment..Reds and golden yellows fade if not cleared with a UV clear. Sad.
Sorry to hear about your experience with Createx products. Please send us email to sales@spraygunner.com with pictures of batch code (barcode side) of a spoiled bottles and we can replace those for you.
I use 4012 as a brush cleaner
4012 is so bad, causes so many issues with seeding etc couldn't figure out why for longest time.
All hail king 4011 and 4020!
Edit: I'm holding back judgement on 4021 so far.. it definitely hasn't eliminated tip dry but my trigger feels a lot more consistent when doing repeated on off(daggers, dots etc)
4021 is the new king! spraygunner.com/products/4021-createx-reducer
