    I used to use lacquer thinner only to clean my airbrush and generally, and Diosol only for thinning for painting. I’ve now used my last drop of Diosol. I was simply going to use the lacquer thinner on the current project and see some recommend Testors to thin Floquil. Are there any others with experience of both? On another point, unable to find any more Engine Black, I used Tamiya’s acrylic black (gloss) and it did provide a very fine, thin finish, perfect for decals. Finally, whenever I first opened a Floquil bottle, I always put in a couple of bbs (those little round things we shot out of air rifles when we were kids on the farm) in the bottle. Always carried these bottles around in a pocket for a couple of hours before the next use to warm them up and to mix them thoroughly. Never thought it necessary or desirable to get one of those battery powered mixers. First, thought them too flimsy. Second, I always thought they would spill or spray out of the bottle. Third, why add another piece of equipment to clean up after use. But many like and swear by them.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
