Airbrush Retarder

An Airbrush retarder is used to slow down the drying time of paint specifically for use with an airbrush. It is added to acrylic paints before they are sprayed through the airbrush to help prevent the paint from drying too quickly, which can cause clogs and other issues.

It works by extending the drying time which allows the paint to flow smoothly through the airbrush and onto the painting surface without drying in the airbrush tip or nozzle. This can help prevent the airbrush from clogging and improve the overall quality of the sprayed paint.

Airbrush retarder is typically added to the paint in small amounts and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is compatible with all types of acrylic paints and can be used to create a variety of effects, such as smoother blends and transitions.

It's important to note that too much product can negatively affect the quality of the paints and the final outcome of the painting. It's recommended to start with a small amount and gradually add more as needed while monitoring the consistency and texture of your paints.

However, it's important to use it in moderation and not add more than 10% by volume to avoid negatively affecting the quality of the paint. Overuse of acrylic retarders can cause your mixtures to become too thin or lose their vibrancy, texture, and color.

Airbrush retarder is compatible with all types of acrylic paints and it has similar functions to that of flow improvers and flow aids.
