Back Magic too thick

Post by vblue »

I started to spray some Back Magic on a piece but it has gotten a little thick. It won't go through the air brush, which I checked and isn't stopped up.

Is there something....water....or ???? to thin it down.

Thanks,
Vernelle

Isopropyl alcohol will thin it and dry faster than water would.

I have been watching here, but I can't recall anybody ever saying back magic worked as advertised, or helped anybody in any way. If I am wrong, I'd surely like to hear about it. In my minds eye it would take quite a bit more heat to gloss it up then they claim.
