I read with interest someones post this past week about using Windex or Windshield washer fluid to dilute paints for airbrushing, today I gave it a try using Polly Scale Mineral Red reduced 15% with windshield washer fluid, loaded up the old airbrush, one word[:D][:D][:D] "SWEET"[:D][:D][:D][:D]
Thanks to all for that tip.

Do you use the blue tinted or the new(er) clear version of Windex? Or doesn't it make a difference?

I learned the technique from a good friend. The dark blue Windex works!

Doesn't the blue tint of the washer fluid alter the color of the paint?
