Going to try out the Tamiya airbrush thinner as plastic solvent as I have heard so much about it being much less expensive than the thin cement. I also have a new bottle of thin cement arriving tomorrow as my old, empty bottle has been sitting for more than a decade and I don't trust the old gasket on the lid to seal properly.
These liquid cements evaporate quickly especially ones like the old Tenax 7R which used to be my go to.
Amazon just brought some Tamiya airbrush thinner

Nice.
I believe the airbrush cleaner (not thinner) is a slightly diluted version of the extra thin. The thinner is pretty much isopropyl alcohol with some retarder in it.

Yeah, I hope you bout the airbrush cleaner, not thinner. The thinner won’t do a damn thing to your plastic. The airbrush cleaner is a fine substitute for their Extra Thin Cement.

Yep the cleaner. The thinner is a waste of money as I use 70% denatured alcohol to thin Tamiya acrylics.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2024 7:51 pm Yeah, I hope you bout the airbrush cleaner, not thinner.
