John,
Thanks for the warning. I'm sure Badger's legal department is satisfied:;-)
However, If mixed for a specific application and not stored afterward,
isopropyl alcohol makes a very good solvent for airbrushing Modelflex paint.
As far as the toxicity, I believe isopropyl alcohol is what your physician
stores his thermometers in and is manufactured for and approved by the FDA for
topical application to the human body. I have used Modelflex for years, almost
excluisively, and can without hesitation recommend it as a superior model
paint. I guess I'll have to continue to do so, without Badger's approval or
condoning of my reckless practices.

Jonathan and list,
Modelflex should never be thin with alcohol or any other air brush thinner,
all alcohol does is evaporate the carrier of the pigment which is water and
now
turns a non toxic product into a toxic one. Badger Air Brush in no way
condones this or recommends this practice.
Thanks
