hi everybody i am looking for mr hobby thinners does anybody know where in uk to order it as i think tamiya acrylic thinners seems a tad expensive for what it is or any other thinners that can be used with tamiya acrylic paints i am using both brush and for some of kit airbrush i have posted this on bulldog as you guys might know uk stockists which will keep down postage many thanks for your time john

Hi John,
I believe that tamiya paints can be thinned with Isopropynol (Isopropyl Alcohol). This used to be sold in chemists (rubbing alcohol) but I'm not sure that it is now. 3m sell it as "surface Cleaner". It is still expensive, but not nearly as expensive as buying thinners in a small jar.

Hi John,

You'll find some here...

hope that helps you out, in the past I have also use halfords screenwash as a thinner when I've used my airbrush.

As Mal says use Iso-propanol. This is what Sam and I use and never have any issues.

We get ours from evil Bay inc postage for less than the Tamiya Thinners or Mr Hobby stuff
