Brushing cheap craft paints

Hello all,

I've had great luck airbrushing Apple Barrel acrylics using all the tips here.

But how do you deal with the stuff for plain old brushing? I suspect I'd have to use a pipette or something to remove some from the bottle, then put it into another container and thin it with... what? Future & windex, only not so thin as for airbrushing? I gather I should consider a drop or two of Slo-Dri as well, from what I've seen.

This will be for some very fine detailing on the visor of a 1/12 astronaut figure I'm working on--painting a reflected scene.

Thanks for any ideas you have,

Jeff

I haven't had much luck brushing Apple Barrel. However, Americana and Delta Ceramcoat both work great.

I thin with a little Future, but haven't used Slo-dri.
