Setup
Before using the Odourless Thinners, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated. Prepare your paints and tools. Always shake the thinner bottle well before use to ensure consistent composition. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product quality.
Operating
Thinning Paints
The Odourless Thinners are designed to dilute oil and enamel paints to achieve the desired consistency for various applications. Start by adding a small amount of thinner to your paint on a palette. Mix thoroughly and test the consistency. Adjust the ratio as needed. For airbrushing, a thinner consistency is usually required to prevent clogging and ensure smooth flow. For brush painting, a slightly thicker consistency might be preferred for better control.
Application Techniques
- Weathering and Streaking: Apply thinned paint to create realistic weathering effects. The thinner allows for subtle blending and streaking, enhancing the realism of your models.
- Panel Lining: For precise panel lining, dilute your paint to a very thin consistency. The low viscosity allows the paint to flow easily into panel lines and recesses, defining details.
- Brush Cleaning: This product can also be used effectively for cleaning brushes used with oil and enamel paints.

Maintenance
Brush Cleaning
After each use, clean your brushes thoroughly with the Odourless Thinners. Dip the brush into a small amount of thinner and gently work the paint out of the bristles. Repeat until the brush is clean. Rinse with soap and water if desired, and reshape the bristles before storing.
Storage
Store the Odourless Thinners in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and maintain product efficacy. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Troubleshooting
- Paint too thick/thin: Adjust the thinner-to-paint ratio. Start with a small amount of thinner and gradually add more until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Airbrush clogging: Ensure your paint is adequately thinned. Clean your airbrush thoroughly after each use to prevent paint buildup.
- Uneven application: Practice on a scrap surface to find the optimal thinning ratio and application technique for your specific paint and desired effect.
