View · Overview

Product overview

Some jobs want a gentler solvent. This mineral thinner is softer and less aggressive than normal White Spirit, made for delicate, soft and subtle blending where an aggressive solvent would disturb the paint underneath. It is lightly scented — a pleasant fruity smell rather than the usual solvent reek, which you will appreciate in a poorly ventilated room.

  • Recommended for use with enamel and oil paint.
  • Also recommended for cleaning tools and brushes after enamel-type paint.
  • Ultra soft on the paint surface, for subtle finishes.
  • Shake it until it looks even before use — the one instruction on the bottle, printed in Spanish only.

Notes · Q & A

What is a model wash and when would I use one?

A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.

Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?

A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.

How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?

Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.

Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
