opened up a bottle of #136 russian green and noticed the bottle was half empty and unusually thick. I am guessing it was on the shelf for a very long time? its the old paddle cap, anyone else have this problem? I thinned it out 1:1 and a little more and the airbrushed on with marginal results.I am going to finish up the KV-1 with Tamiya Japanese army green with a bit of buff. Seems like a good time to phase out my lacquer thinners and go with all acryl paints and thinners,I am worried about toxins
