ISO and Tamiya thinners feel and smell the same and have similar characteristics but I do think the Tamiya thinners (although much more expensive than a $1.99 litre bottle of ISO) is a much better product and does provide better results.

I would hope if anyone knows of the Tamiya retarder becoming available they would create a thread saying from where

2539 forum posts 1285 photos 5 articles | Beautiful weather and all my other hobbies and activities have kept me away from the modelling bench. However, I did manage to sneak in a few hours in last night with some pin-washes using oils and filters with enamels. Gives it just enough of a gritty surface to begin the wet and dry pastel treatment. Edited By Mark Bannerman on 29/07/2010 23:38:11 |
