Can I thin AK interactive acrylic colors with tap water? Or should use their thinner instead?

They are acrylic so you can thin with water, but its recommended to use either distilled or deionised water (same thing really) easily available at most supermarkets and or hardware stores.
Some say that dependent on your water quality tap water can leave a milky film, never seen it myself but I use distilled water for thinning.
