Swathdiver - Speaking of the Floquil Polly Scale primer, does it need to be thinned to spray it with an airbrush? If so, what kind of thinner works best with it?
In my ignorance I have sprayed it straight from the bottle with no ill effects. I now thin it with a few drops of RO or distilled water to economize on the paint, it's expensive!

Curiously I have several bottles that I used as a kid that must be 30+ years old now and still work just fine with a bit more water added.
