From your experience, which of these is the best thinner for airbrushing Future?

A, Windex

B. Isopropyl alcohol

C. Distilled water

D. Windshield fluid

E. Another product?

The application is for use as a barrier, NOT for a gloss topcoat.

barrier? I don't follow what you mean.

When I spray Future, I never thin it. It doesn't need to be thin if you spray it at 35-ish psi. It almost runs already out of the bottle when you spray it. As far as cleaning your airbrush, I just use water.

I've seen my dad use Windex to thin future down a little to brush, but not spray. Try it on something first, not your model, because I'm not really sure.

A barrier is used to prevent filler from 'ghosting' up through layers of primer or paint. It seals the filler. Sometimes primer does not do that alone.
