Wait you mean some NORMAL PEOPLE has made it onto this site??Make sure you get the Wicked line of Createx, as the regular kind is only really good for textiles with big nozzles and high pressure If you find you also want to do textiles at some point then Wicked paints are great for that too, but the regular Createx is only recommended for textiles.
With the Wicked line, the proper reducer they sell really is the best thing to use. As it has a very teeny amount of solvent it doesn't work well reduced with water. Other paints can work well with home recipes, and I guess there are people who use home made stuff, but IMO it works best with the real deal, and as the wicked reducer has other benefits like less tip dry, quicker drying, harder curing, and better surface tension on hard surfaces (with the W500 - less chance of fish eyes etc) it is well worth getting. It gives a beautiful satiny smooth finish too. If you choose to buy the reducer, you will probably use at least 4 times more reducer than paint (maybe a lot more) so it can be more cost effective to get a larger bottle.
I don't use windex, but those who do say to make sure to get the ammonia free kind. Regular acrylic paint will make life pretty difficult and frustrating, the paint pigment is too large, making control almost impossible, as well as blocking the nozzle. Proper airbrush paint pigments are ground much finer. Some generic multi purpose art stuff is marketed for a specific use, (and at higher cost LOL) when really it is just something else renamed, but not so with airbrush paint It really is designed specifically for the airbrush. It can seem pretty costly at first, but you will literally be measuring it out in drops, and a 2oz bottle really does go a long way.
There are no scary or mean people here Slightly deranged, a little bit mad, ditsy or unconventional perhaps (you know who you are LOL) so never be scared to show anything or ask anything.
okay time to hunt out the normal ones and get rid of them cause normal folks just scare me ..... It is always the quiet ones .. That is what you hear
