Tamiya X20A Acryl Thinner MIA

I'm new to using Tamiya acrylics for brush use ...I usually use Testors enamel for brush work.

Problem is, it appears that US supply of tamiya X20A has run out. I've tried alcohol and water for thinning for brush work with poor results. Anyone recommend a proven alternative ...will craft paint acryl thinner work?

Cheers,
J.

You can use Gunze Leveling Thinner (recommended) or Isopropyl alcohol with retarder (if now way out).

Just use water. When Mixed well, it always works for me.

Just use water and let the brush sit for a min then a paper towel will get it all off in one swipe.
Tamiya paints work 10,000 times better than testors
