Do they sell Windex in the UK?  How did he even discover this?  Do we all need to buy paint shakers now? D'oh!

[Hammers]

We discussed the Robar in this thread

[Conrad Hawkwood]

so Hammers, we can't discuss it again??? joroas..do you clean your windows in the UK, if you do then it is probably much the same..as a further comment i use Windex, window cleaner, exclusively while painting  and never use water.. much cleaner brushes and no surface ternsion..and how do I know all this?..deduction from using Windex in airbrushing for cleaning and thining.. and from reading the contents description and.. try it if you want to see how it works..hope the sky doesn't fall in

Can you thin your paint on your palette with Windex or do you use this technique only with drying (dry) paint?

[Conrad Hawkwood]

on the palette, cleaning brushes..everything except some  ink washing and varnish , where I use water, often a bit dirty , though I clean everything in windex. I haven't used water to thin paint for  5 years.
