Thinning Tamiya Acrylics?

I have heard of people using windshield washer fluid as a thinner. Has anyone used this method with Tamiya acrylics?

Thanks, Mike

Coming in very late..............

I use a 50/50 mix of IPA and H20. Works great for me. I use Tamiya for all my detail work (cars mostly) leaving the gloss body colors to Testors enamels and the like.

I use straight isopropyl alcohol. My airbrush use of Tamiya is limited to white and yellow, since the white sems to have better opacity than any other white, and when I use yellow, I'm overspraying that white and want the paints to be compatible. I might pick up some red for the same reason.
