I know I've seen bits and pieces of advice spread across multiple forums, but I thought I'd try to get this in one place:
Many of the thinners and solvents we use in model building are very expensive in the small quantities sold in hobby shops. I know it must be possible to get some of them in bulk/generic form.
So, what are the "generic" thinners or solvents you use for:
- Enamels
- Lacquers (metallizers)
- Acrylics (although I've heard that people strongly recommend using brand name for the particular paint manufacturer)
- Airbrush cleaning
And if generics aren't appropriate, where can you buy thinners and solvents in bulk so you don't go through several bottles of them in a single airbrushing session?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
