FAQs
What is the primary use of Vallejo Thinner Medium?
It is used to extend the colors, increase fluidity, and delay the drying time of Vallejo acrylic paints.
Can I use it with other brands of acrylic paints?
While it's designed for Vallejo paints, it may work with other acrylics. Test it on a sample surface first to ensure compatibility.
How much thinner should I add to my paint?
Start with a small amount (a few drops) and gradually add more, mixing well, until you achieve the desired consistency. The amount depends on the technique and desired effect.
How do I clean my brushes after using the thinner?
Rinse your brushes with water immediately after use. For tougher cleaning, use a brush cleaner specifically designed for acrylic paints.
Is the thinner medium toxic?
No, it is non-toxic and water-based, making it safe to use.
How should I store the Vallejo Thinner Medium?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Always reseal the bottle tightly after each use.
Does the thinner affect the color of the paint?
It can slightly reduce the color intensity if overused. It also increases transparency.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thin and runs.
Reduce the amount of thinner used. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until the desired consistency is achieved.
Paint doesn't adhere to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean and properly primed. Reduce the amount of thinner used as over-dilution can affect adhesion.
Paint dries too quickly.
Add a few more drops of thinner to slow down the drying time.
