How do i make acrylic paint the right thickness for an airbrush?
To make the acrylic paint the right thickness of an airbrush you should add the liquid gradually as you stir to get the right thickness.
What is paint NDFT?
Nominal Dry Film Thickness
Is there a formula to figure dry paint mil thickness if you have the percent solids of the paint?
It depends on the application process and what are you painting. Mils can vary based on how you apply the paint and with what applicator. It is not based on the solids percentage. This may create a variable that cannot be included in a fixed formula. To measure paint that is already dry you can use a mil gauge. For more info on applying paint go to the appended website. (Added) That's correct when you have only the percentage solids by weight, however when you apply the paint correctly, at the wet mil thickness specified by the manufacturer, you can figure the dry mil thickness by multiplying the wet mil thickness (often 4 mils for ordinary house paint) and the percent solids by volume of the paint. To measure the wet paint thickness, which you should do while applying to ensure that it is being applied at the correct thickness, use a wet mil gauge. For example, 4 mils with a paint that is 25% solids by volume will dry down to 1 mil thickness. A high build elastomeric coating applied at 10 mils at the same 25% solids will dry down to 2.5 mils.
What is nonablative bottom paint?
Non Ablative bottom paint is a paint film that does not wear down its thickness as it moves through the water. Ablative paint wears down its paint thickness through friction with water. A perfect analogy would be like a bar of soap wears down in time through friction of rubbing on your skin. Non ablatives do not wear down.
