This is really helpful info. Yes , as for right now it would just be for cleaning up (brushes, and maybe some removal of excess with a Qtip on seams, etc.) This is all new territory for me. so I'll take all the help I can get. I appreciate it! Best Regards

Just some personal opinion... I believe Mr Color thinners use Reducer in them, not Lacquer Thinner. Reducer (primarily for Urethanes) comes in "slow" and "fast", which means it evaporates at different rates. You can speed up or slow down the drying time. By allowing the thinner to evaporate...

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a thinner that I could use maybe from the hardware store that would be compatible to Mr. Color leveling thinner 400? (I watched a tutorial on using Mr Surfacer products, and he advised using Mr thinner 400, or leveling thinner 400 for clean up purposes)...

Welcome to the family! I've only been here about a month or so. But everyone is very helpful, and will answer any questions that you may have. Glad to have you!!

I'm new to the community here and starting to get into the hobby as more than just slapping together models like I did as a kid. I thought I'd join here and be in a world of other modelers and learn and share. Glad to be here

You know, getting a 15 year old son to do ANYTHING with his parents is a giant win! Yes it is (from time to time in our home). He's a good kid and takes interest in a lot of mechanical hobbies, chores, etc. I do have to make a correction on his age though... He's 16 years old (you guy's know...

Thanks for the wealth of information Blakeh! I will give it a try and see how it turns out. I APPRECIATE your help and insight on this! Best Regards!

I have been using these almost exclusively for weathering and have used it interchangeably with both water and "mineral spirits" (for me, technically Weber Odorless Turpenoid) i.e. apart from being mixable/cleaned with water, you can use any other oil paint medium/thinner you would use with...

It's compatible with mineral spirits . You can thin it with water or mineral spirits . For something like a wash you'll probably get better results using mineral spirits . Experiment on some scrap material so you have a good feel for how it performs . Good info on everything about the water...

Hello everyone, Hope everybody is having a good day so far.I've got a question concerning this water mixable oil color paint that I've purchased (hoping to achieve a weathering effect on a Corsair that my son and I are building.) Question: Can this be mixed with mineral spirits? Or can I just...

Roger that!

Thanks Gman, for taking the time to share!! Is the spray booth filtered in any kind of way? (Self contained filter for catching some of the fumes, etc.) We would be in a room that'ssimilarto yours. I would DEFINITELY be using a respirator, in any case. Thanks again !

Yes Sir! No doubt about that. Trying to do my best. Thanks for the pearls of wisdom, D.T. !! Have a great rest of your weekend

Thanks D.T. !! We are getting work table, tools etc. Gathered to start building the Corsair. I'm excited about building and learning new skills. But most of all doing it with my Son. Life gets so hectic these days and I don't get to spend quality time with him the way that I need to. Thanks...

Looking GOOD!! That's one mean machine for sure!

THANKS for the welcome and info Pantherman! Points well taken. I look forward to getting into this with my Son and building some interesting projects in the future. There's a lot of neat kits out there. And the history of the subject matter is fascinating as well! Looking forward to meeting...

Thanks for the encouragement, info. and support BGS!! We are on the south end of Atlanta, and hobby shops are a drive for us as well. Have a Great Day and THANKS for taking the time to get back with me!!

Sprue cutters are great for removing each part . A hobby knife ( Xacto ) for part cleanup . Either files or sanding sticks will work . You don't need to buy hi-end tools , nail files will usually work fine . Might need some tweezers but you should be able to get thru most kits without them...
