One tip which will prevent paint from drying up is to clean the jar lip and the cap from residual paint before putting the cap back on. This will ensure proper air tight contact between surfaces when tightened closed. I have paint jars over 20 years old, saved thanks to this.

@dorsk84 Жыл бұрын

I used saran wrap to seal the caps too. Place the bottle under the wrap. And screw down the cap. I have also used things like RTV and Make-your-own gasket material to replace the OG seal.

Budget tip. If you want a cheaper alternative to hobby paint mixers just use a cappuccino frother. You can pick one up for about $5 - $10. I purchased one that was rechargeable with two attachments, one is the traditional frother attachment and the other is a whisk. The wisk is great for larger applications and the frother I cut down with my Dremel to make a simple L shaped stirrer that will fit in small bottles. You could even makeshift a small stirrer and attach with some epoxy. I’m starting my own channel focusing on budget hobby tips and diy supplies. Barbatos has inspired me to do so.

@@danrussell3439 Sure. My channel name is Budget Tabletop. You can find it here: youtube.com/@budgettabletopwargaming . It will be focusing on budget hints and tips for the miniature war gaming hobby, DIY hobby supplies such as paints (acrylic and oil), inks, washes, pigment powders, pastels, effect and texture paints, terrain supplies and builds, etc. I will be reviewing hobby tools and other necessities with a focus on quality budget alternatives to branded hobby tools. I will also be doing reviews and unboxings of fantasy war gaming games and miniatures, as well as 3D printed models and will be incorporating all of that into the DIY supplies stuff. My channel is up but I have yet to upload my first video. It will go up sometime this week. My first will be an unboxing of a massive US$700 + fantasy miniature game kickstarter lot I purchased for an absolute steal. If you’re interested, head over and subscribe. I’ll be dropping 2 - 3 videos a week.

Binder is correct. Essentially it "holds" the pigment "in suspension" without changing it's properties like a thinner would. There are a lot of very similar terms that have become interchangeable over time, but that do have distinct meanings. The worst offender is "thinner," but also leveler, dilution, flow improver, retarder, etc. Some terms are "incorrect" but still used for historical reasons. Some are mistranslations of translations between the UK, Germany, & the US. Some are marketing jargon. It's actually a topic that would make for a great video.

The 'Binder' is clear paint. So the rejuvinator you have is just lacquer thinner with a small amount of clear, at 10 times the price. All acrylic lacquer is made up of 3 parts: Pigment, binder and solvent.

Thinking about getting some rust tones in Tamia and MrPaint after they're bone dry , and then grinding them up. Then apply them as weathering powders and trying to get them them wet with 99% rubbing or maybe the mr. Hobby resto - stuff ...as a wetting agent or just an adhesive activator.

I always have this on hand. I often have extremely dried up lacquer paints so what I do is I just pour the solution in the bottle, close it tight and leave it for a few days until the paint soften and easier to stir. Works with primers as well.

If any of the viewers are familiar with original 1960s and 1970s era Floquil model railroad paints, ... they are a true laquer that was thinned with their product called Dio-Sol. It smelled like toluene was one of the ingredients.. Anyway, its long out of production, but millions of bottles of it are still out there, some dried up in the bottle. If anyone has any experience with reviving old Floquil, can you please share the solvent or solvent blend you used, here in the comments?

@scottbaker5975 Жыл бұрын

I model narrow gauge and it is a frequent conversation on all the forums. There are three ingredients, but I will have to dig around and find the ratio of mixture. I can't remember the third ingredient but will look it up. I do know (because I bought a gallon of each) Toluene and Xylene are two of them. I will repost when I find the info.

@scottbaker5975 Жыл бұрын

Just found the info...38% Toluene; 41% Xylene; 21% Solvesso 100. And I quote, "Solvesso 100 is a long evaporation rate aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. Getting the touene and xylene is not difficult, but Sovesso 100 is only available through chemical suppliers or Sherwin Williams as Naptha 100." I remember when I went down this road, sherwin Williams did not want to sell me the Naptha 100 because I'm not a licensed contractor.

@@barbatosrex9473 thanks. About 20 years ago I bought a bunch of SMP Accupaint in some colors that i use to paint locomotives. The paint has become very viscous but it will seems to recover with adding thinner. Like you it didn’t seem quite right. At first I thought it was because I used plain acetone. I picked up Tru-Color thinner which worked a little better. Now I’m waiting on Tru-Color Rejuvenator. Their stuff is getting expensive and I really wonder how similar it is to Mr. Color.

I know that with metal lids like Testors you can use a lighter and heat it up around the lid for a few seconds and that should loosen it up. For Mr Color and Tamiya paint jars Mr Hobby GSI Creos makes a lid opener that looks like a wrench, item #GT56 Mr Cap Opener, it works on both Mr Color and Tamiya paint jars. I own one personally and it is great! Aside from that those are the only things that I’ve learned about with this hobby. Good luck.
