Re: How long does Tamiya Acrylic paint last?

There's more to it than alcohol, and when I find out what the additive is, I might mix my own. But until then, whenever I'm brushing small parts with acrylic paint, I'll add a bit of Tamiya thinner.

I got that too... isopropyl or acetone... and the tamiya acrylics DO cut well with the isopropyl, but they dry SUPER fast (when I wash my panel lines they dry too fast with isopropyl as my thinner)
