Those are the ones!  Does it need to be thinned to spray? |

I bought VMS AB thinner too and use it.
I only have a cheap AB which clogs easily.
I also use their thinner too to begin cleaning the AB, Mr Hobby which I use usually tends to react with the varnish and block up the AB.
VMS thinner works with every different type of paint I have used so far so is a good product to buy, too.

The varnishes are good Jeff. Strangely though, Chris from VMS said they work better when slightly warm, this I have found is true. They can be sprayed neat, you need a relatively high pressure and a 0.5mm nozzle. Also window cleaner works as a thinner, but an alcohol based type, and don't use too much  |

Thanks,Boys. All good info to have. Paul,your comment about spraying neat leads me to believe I'll be thinning it. Don't have a .5 in the arsenal. |

Mine is a 0.3 single action AB by spray work. About as cheap as they come.
I do turn the pressure down, to what I don’t know. There is just a big dial on the top of my spray work compressor.

Holy spit. That's a lot of paint in one coat. Almost flooded.  |
