Review: Must have for miniature painters - I use this for miniature painting. I have decanted it into a smaller dropper bottle for easier use, but I think this one bottle will last a lifetime. There's enough that I've got some extra dropper bottles to give to friends. It helps reduce visible brush strokes and is great for techniques like wet blending.
Review: Awesome product - I’m a hobby painter who enjoys painting miniatures. The one constant problem a mini painter has is the paint drying on the palette and on the brush. The problem isn’t so much wasting paint it’s that the paint becomes ‘gritty’ and doesn’t flow evenly from the brush. As a bit of an experiment, I thought I’d try a Flow Aid. It was added to by small pot of distilled water at the recommended dosage 1:20 flow aid to water. I can state that the result was dramatic and instant. The benefits were multi-fold: 1) The water mix when added to paint seems to thin better (extended?) 2) Drying time seems improved (possibly due to above) 3) Paint flows much better from brush 4) Paint flows better on surface of miniature. To a certain extent, this has reduced my dependence on Acrylic Medium and Retarder but each has it’s place. Just a point that at a 1:20 mix ratio, this bottle will last FOREVER.. I think enough for thinning litres of paint. I recommend this to any miniature painter and I will only be using water mixed with Flow Aid for thinning my paints from now-on. Combined with Acrylic Medium and Retarder, this gives a lot of flexibility. I’m so impressed with Liquitex products that I will be buying their Blending Medium to give that a try also!
