Question Airbrushing Lacquer.

Hey guys. I've just got a quick question.

I want to run some Tamiya Lacquer through my Airbrush, instead of spraying it from the can, just so I can control the amount coming out a bit better. The thing that's stopping me, is that I know the lacquer dries pretty quickly, so am I in danger of it drying inside the airbrush? I'm 90% sure I don't need to worry about it, or about thinning it down, but I thought I'd check here first and just make sure

Thanks.

No worries about that. It doesn't dry that fast. There is no need to thin it, they are already thiined enough for airbrush.

Thanks alot

I thought I that everything would be ok but I thought it would pay just to check first.

There was nothing in the FAQ either, so maybe something like this could be added there too. Alother thing that would be good to have in the FAQ would be thinning ratios for different paints. Just a thought
