airbrush paint and hand sanitizer

Recommended Posts

hand sanitizer 60-80% + distilled water

 

hand sanitizer got gel+alcohol +glycerin so you just need to add distilled water

the mix is 1/3 hand sanitizer + 2/3 water

60% hand sanitizer make a thick mix

80% hand sanitizer is close to being right (dilute or add alcohol)

works well in paint :

Golden High Flow Acrylics

stupid question cuz i am over thinking this.  

Are you saying hand sanitizer that is 60% or 80% alcohol? or is that the ratio to water?

depending on the brand, they can contain from 60% and up to 80% alcohol.

have tested 5 brands and those with a low alcohol percentage can be diluted more.

so it's a choice whether you want water based or more of an alcohol based to dilute with.

Forgive me for being thick.

Please explain your process.  How are you using the sanitizer?

most airbrush paints are made thick so you dilute it with alcohol or water.

(what gel does is keep the pigment flowing)

(glycerin which may be in breaks the surface tension or you can add 5-10 drops (5drops/500ml))

so in the sanitizer I got all 3 things.

so I make a mix of 1/3 sanitizer and 2/3 part water and this mix is my dilute for the paint.
