Big Child Creatives IONIC-0302 20ml Thinner with Retarder is a specialised thinner that not only thins paints but also includes a retarder, which helps to slow down the drying time of the paint. This can be especially useful for airbrushing or detailed painting projects, where longer working times are beneficial for blending and smooth application.
Key Features:
Thinner Function: The primary purpose of the thinner is to reduce the viscosity of the paint, making it easier to apply, particularly with airbrushes.
Retarder: The added retarder slows down the drying process of the paint. This is useful when you’re working on detailed projects that require longer periods to blend colours or make adjustments before the paint dries.
Improved Blending: The slower drying time allows for more blending time, ideal for techniques like wet blending or smooth transitions between colours.
Enhanced Flow: The thinner ensures that the paint flows smoothly through an airbrush or brush, preventing clogs and providing an even coat.
When to Use:
For Fine Detailing: When you need more time to work on fine details or transitions.
For Layering and Blending: The retarder is particularly helpful when layering or blending colours, as it gives you more time to work before the paint begins to dry.
In Hot Environments: If you’re painting in a hot environment where paint dries quickly, the retarder can help maintain a workable consistency.
