How much should Faskolor be thinned, and at what air pressure should I be shooting it at? It seems to clog up the nozzle of my Crescendo airbrush pretty easily. Later!

Personally, I don't thin it but I do spray at 35-45 psi with Faskolor. I have gotten away from Faskolor when doing fine lines due to the need for the high pressure. I use lacquer for fine lines now and spray that at 10-15 psi which is much more controllable.

Matt, until you're more comfortable with Faskolor, I wouldn't try it for fine lines. I've tried doing fine lines with it, but failed miserably.

For general coverage, do some experimenting with it. Many people on here don't thin it, or thin it very little. Thin it slowly until it sprays smoothly and evenly ast Phil's recommended air pressure. Each AB is different and has its own nuances. Part of the fun is figuring out how to make it work right...for you. Best of luck.
