I normally use xf59 desert yellow in the jar. I shake the jar and pour it into the airbrush jar. then I put about a quarter of screen wash back in the paint jar and shake again. this seems to work for me, but I don't measure it. I have about 25psi in an air tank cheers dave

If you are reluctant to use screen wash why not use any supermarket own brand Vodka, you can get it in 35cl bottles for half the price of Tamiya 250ml thinner, one drawback it takes a little longer for the paint to dry because their is an amount of water in it, so do not forget to drain any water in the filter afterwards. and if it is just a small job well then after you have finished its party time, seriously it works. shaun
