NorthernWolfman Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 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?

charlie8575 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 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.

MikeMc Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
