I recently bought a few MIG washes that I wanted to try, but realized last night as I started to use them that I didn't get the MIG thinner for washes. I'm planning on ordering some, but I'm hoping there's an alternative I can pick up today so I don't have to wait on delivery to move forward.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Gamblin artist oils 'Gamsol Mineral Spirits' I use with AK products (streaking grime, washes), and oils - fantastic stuff!!!!! $15 for a pint that will last for years... but they have smaller and larger sizes too.

My local art store, I think it's a common brand for oil paints

If they don't have it, ask for a mineral spirit alternative
