I have a question for you guys , im about to transfer my citadel paints into dropper bottles, i've seen a few videos on how to do it.

some people use water to get the last few ml out of the citadel pots. I have seen other videos where people use liquitex flo-aid.

I have available Vallejos Thinner medium

Which of the three options would be best?

i've heard some conflicting vews on both water and flo-aid:

for water i read somewhere that you should never put water into the pots as in time it can affect the adhesion of the pigment with the medium (if i remember correctly).
for flo-aid i read that it changes the way paint behaves too much and it starts working as a glaze ( doesnt cover as well , but some people like it that way and just use more coats).

but i never seen anyone mention anything about vallejos thinner medium. does anyone know any pros and cons of using it to transfer paint into dropper bottles?

I like the idea of using the thinner since thats what i use to thin my paints on my palette (never use water) , so i figure that once im ready to paint i would just have to put a little less thinner on the palette since the paint would already be thinned down a little bit since the transfer of pots.

any suggestions, comments , ideas?!

In your situation, the Vallejo thinner medium would be more than fine.

Doesn't really matter, you could always tweak it later]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/760931/10078161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/760931/10078161.page GMT
