Acrylic paint "gelled"

Water or alcohol, but it may be too late...try mixed fruit.

One of my Lifecolor paints did this, and I tried rescuing it with Tamiya thinner. That went well enough until it gelled up in the airbrush whilst spraying. Had to strip it right down and spend an afternoon cleaning it. Throw it away is my advice.

i had luck with 99% alcohol and mechanical shaking for 20-30 minutes. i tape it to the blad of a electric jig saw and let it run.

Alcohol added to it. And use a rattleball (salvaged from a dead spray can) to aid mixing. The paint will be fine for brushing; I'm not sure if I'd want to use it in a spray gun. Prolly depends on how well it thins down. Good luck!

I use Testors Acryl Thinner to thin mine. It contains propylene glycol.

Try some Future in a small amount of your paint and see how it goes.

What to add? Money - for a new bottle of paint. I wouldn't risk my airbrush or my model.
