Polly S paints

Anyone use these? I used them about 35 years ago. I just bought some for my swordfish and would like to know how they are?What is best for thinning them and cleaning up after. Thanks in advance.

I stopped using them. Sometimes tap water would thin it, sometimes not, sometimes Windex, sometimes solvent based..it was really a hit and miss what to use. I throw rocks at Polly S now. Sorry James, I'm no help.

Not sounding good. Between your answer and another thread I think I'm hosed. Well Swordfish is now back in box and a Sherman III is started.

Hello !
Can't really advise you on Polly S since I don't use them .If you decide to try them out do it on something you don't value first.
My other hint has to do with the Swordfish. I built one a couple years or so ago and as complicated a build as it is, you certainly don't want to have to guess about the quality of the paints.

Been a few years since i used em. Liked em when I did. Seem to recall I was cheap and just used tap water. Never had any issues. Maybe I was just lucky.
