yet another airbrush question!

[Iron Mike]

CVS has the 91% on the shelves, I have not looked for the higher test as James suggested (yet).

 

[chukw]

Chuck and guys down south, I dont know if you can get it down there, but if you ask the pharmacist you can get 99.9% rubbing alcohol over the counter. Must be over 18 up here. I use the other stuff for cleaning and the good stuff for thinning.
James

I will definitely pester my pharmacist for some- thanks, James!

 

[TomN]

Lots of great advice, but I gotta ask...why not just use Tamiya thinner? It works great.

Tom

 

[AndyFettes]

yeah but there was a problem getting Tamiya stuff whist CVS Walgreens etc is just up the road

plus for the frugule amongst us ( me ) its cheaper LOL

 

[TomN]

Hmmm...I don't see any reference to it being hard to get. In stock at Sprue Bros.

Seriously, unless you are spraying gallons and gallons of paint I don't see the point in trying to save a couple
bucks with something that might work when you can get the stuff that will work...just sayin'.

Because the $5.00 difference between the two is Lunch for me.

C'mon Moon, skip a meal and suffer for your hobby.

 

[chukw]

Oh, I bought this years ago for the paint itself- but the rubbing alcohol is perfect for cleaning the AB, etc.

 

[Barney]

Damn MP, you spend that much for a meal?

 

[moon puppy]

If I'm lucky!! hell 2 dogs, bag o' chips and a drink is over $6.00 nowadays. Good hotdog thought...

 

[Barney]

Hot Dogs? Chips?

Are those on my low cholesterol, low carb, low everything food list?????

No...


So I guess I stick to Pizza with extra cheese... Screw the "meal plan!"

Maybe I should start buying the correct chemicals instead of trying to make it up as I go! Thanks Chuck, I'm spraying some Acrylic german grey tomorrow- tell you how it went later.

Nope, and I eat them at a dive where they sale stink bait, tackle and the coldest beer in town. :drink

 

[Barney]

Best places to eat always seem to be the places your Mom would never approve of....

 

[moon puppy]

Barney, If you ever make it down here, it's my treat!

Bait, tackle, beer, huntin' weight station, ice, hotdogs and now breakfast

Oh yeah, Wednesdays is now Cheeseburger day and the picknic table out front now has a cover. :yipee

 

[Iron Mike]

A word of advice, don't EVER go in there under the influence.

 

[kryptosdaddy]

Funny how a thread that starts out 'I'm having trouble getting green paint to spray' turns into a conversation about eating man food.
