I am using model masters acrylics & I put a bit too much water & now its too thin.
How do I un-thin/harden it?
Please help. I only have to paint the canopy lines & then my 1:48 Su-27 Flanker B will be complete.
Cheers & thanks,
WD.

If you dont have any regular paint left .... place your paint out on a buisness card or similar and the cardboard will soak up the the thinner.
You need to be quick, because it will skin. Put out a little at a time and hopefully it will get you there.

let the container of paint sit overnight. Without shaking it remove the lid and hopefully the paint has settled to the bottom of the container. Remove the top half with an eye dropper and either place in another container or throw it away..
