Tip drying in an airbrush can be slowed by adding a few drops of AK737 Drying Retarder to acrylic paint. Supplied in a 60 ml dropper bottle, this odourless, non-toxic auxiliary is particularly relevant in high temperatures, when paint can dry quickly around the needle. With a brush, it extends working time for glazing or other controlled applications.
Suitable for all kinds of acrylic paint.
Add only a few drops to the airbrush cup.
Brush application supports glazing techniques.
No mixing ratio or added working-time figure is specified.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
