The guy at my store said that Alclad is alcohol based you could try that but it says on the bottle that thinning is not recommended

Lacquer thinners should work, I doubt alcohol would be a good idea

Re: Thinner for Alclad...

lacquer and alcohol based are 2 different things, Alclad is a lacquer.

I'm with the Scrutinzer on this one....

Alclad makes an airbrush cleaner...that might work in small amounts. As far as it being a laquer...sure smells like it...just like nailpolish.

I have a few friends who have used Alclad for years and they have always used Acetone to thin it with very good results.
