Description
Flow Improver is a must-have for modelers, figure painters, and diorama artists who want precision and control. By reducing drag and surface resistance, it improves how acrylic paint spreads across a surface—perfect for fine details, edge highlights, washes, or large surface areas. In airbrushes, it prevents clogging and keeps paint flowing longer, even during extended sessions.
Micro-Mark Flow Improver is included in these sets:
Item #29421 Essentials Acrylic Paint Set
Airbrush Railroad Acrylic Paint Set
Item #29270 Basic Airbrush Acrylic Paint Set
Modeling Use Cases
• Miniatures: Smooth fine linework, edge highlights, and face details
• Wargaming Models: Flow into panel lines, armor joints, and capes
• Model Trains: Enhance panel washes and weathering on rolling stock
• Airbrushing: Prevent tip dry and clogging for consistent spray patterns
• Drybrush Prevention: Stop paint from drying mid-stroke for smoother coverage
How to Use Micro-Mark Flow Improver
For Brush Use:
- Add 1–2 drops of Flow Improver per brush-load of paint on your palette
- Mix thoroughly until consistency improves
- Apply as usual—paint will spread more evenly with reduced drag
For Airbrush Use:
- Add 3–5 drops per 10ml of paint
- Mix well before loading into airbrush
- Spray as normal—paint stays wetter at the nozzle and flows evenly
Tips for Best Results
• Do not overuse—too much can affect adhesion or drying time
• Use with a wet palette to extend open time even further
• Combine with thinner when layering glazes or highlights
• Especially useful in hot, dry environments where paint dries quickly on the brush or airbrush tip
