Tamiya X-20A Alcohol-based Acrylic Thinner 250ml is a professional product designed for use with model paints. It's an essential item for any modeler who uses alcohol-based acrylic paints, especially Tamiya brand paints, ensuring optimal paint preparation for application.
Main Use and Compatibility
Tamiya X-20A thinner was created for the perfect thinning of Tamiya brand acrylic paints. Its chemical composition guarantees an ideal paint consistency for both brush painting and airbrushing, minimizing the risk of nozzle clogging and ensuring a smooth finish.
Thanks to its alcohol-based formula, the product is also effective with other acrylic paints that use alcohol as a solvent. This provides flexibility in use, although it is always recommended to perform a compatibility test on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to your actual model.
Important note: Tamiya X-20A thinner is not intended for thinning water-based acrylic paints, such as popular series from Vallejo, Hataka Blue (blue line), or Pactra. Using it with water-based paints can lead to undesirable reactions, such as paint coagulation, and consequently damage to the paint finish.
