Decanting Question

[NorthernWolfman]

Hey guys, been a while since i've been here and just had a bit of time to get started on a kit. I was decanting some paint the other day and its been sitting for a few days and the jar was full when i first decanted. I guess the gas adds volume to the paint at first. My question is this, can i just decant more into the jar and wait till the gas dissipates again until i fill up the jar with what i need?

You could, but remember, you'll still probably need to thin out the paint a little for it to go through your airbrush properly, so I'd hold off on putting more paint in until you get the consistency right.

I've learned that a wide mouth jar (I use one from bullion cubes) put in a pan of warm water will allow the gas out much quicker, along with a gentle stirring.

I decant Tamiya and Duplicolor lacquers and I rarely need any thinner or reducer..couple of drops at most. I spray at 22psi and have few issues
