FAQs
What type of paints can I use this thinner with?
This thinner is specifically designed for use with enamel-based coatings and finishes, particularly Guild Materials enamel paints. Always test for compatibility with other brands.
Can I use this thinner for cleaning brushes?
While it can help clean brushes used with enamel paints, dedicated brush cleaners are often more effective. Ensure thorough cleaning with soap and water afterwards.
How much thinner should I use?
The amount of thinner needed varies depending on the paint and desired consistency. Start by adding a small amount (e.g., 5-10% by volume) and mix well. Add more gradually until you achieve the desired flow.
Is this thinner suitable for all types of painting applications?
It is ideal for airbrushing and general paint thinning. For specific techniques like pouring or dipping, consult the paint manufacturer's recommendations.
Will this thinner change the color of my paint?
No, this is a colourless enamel thinner and is formulated not to alter the original hue of your enamel paint.
How should I store the Guild Lane Enamel Thinners?
Store the tin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.
Troubleshooting
Paint is still too thick after adding thinner.
Add small amounts of thinner gradually, mixing thoroughly between additions, until the desired consistency is reached. Avoid over-thinning.
Paint appears cloudy or has an unusual texture.
This may indicate incompatibility. Stop use immediately and test on a scrap surface. Ensure you are using the thinner with an appropriate enamel-based paint.
Thinner evaporates too quickly during application.
Ensure the lid is sealed when not in use. Work in a well-ventilated area but avoid strong drafts which can accelerate evaporation.

Compatibility:
