Hobby paint medium/additive VALLEJO 26.232, 35 ml, transparent, jar dispenser

VALLEJO 26.232 is a 35 ml transparent hobby paint medium/additive in a jar dispenser designed for model making and scale-hobby painting. This clear medium modifies the properties of acrylic hobby paints without adding pigment: it improves flow, transparency and surface behaviour, making it suitable for thinning, glazing, blending and subtle weathering effects. The transparent formulation keeps colour fidelity while allowing controlled dilution and layered applications for fine detail and realistic finishes.

Advantages

The medium thins acrylic hobby paints while preserving adhesion and pigment performance, enabling smoother brushwork and finer glazing. Its transparent composition helps create controlled translucency and feathered transitions during blending or weathering. Supplied in a small jar dispenser, it provides precise volume control for mixing and for building thin, even layers on models and diorama elements.

Suitable for

• Thinning acrylic hobby paints for brush or airbrush use
• Glazing and gradual colour transitions on scale models
• Blending shades and softening panel lines or highlights
• Improving surface flow for fine detail painting and weathering

Key specifications

• Volume: 35 ml jar dispenser
• Appearance: transparent, non-pigmented medium
• Compatibility: formulated for acrylic hobby paints
• Primary uses: thinning, glazing, blending, improving flow

How to use

Mix a small amount of the medium with acrylic paint to achieve the desired consistency; start with a low ratio and increase as needed. For glazing, apply thin, semi-transparent layers allowing each layer to dry before adding the next to build depth and soft transitions. For thinning prior to airbrushing, test the mix on a scrap piece and adjust to achieve a stable spray pattern. Clean tools and airbrush components with appropriate cleaners after use.

Usage recommendations

Use in well-ventilated areas and observe general workshop safety. Store the jar tightly closed when not in use and avoid contamination with other products. Test compatibility on an inconspicuous area or scrap material before applying on final surfaces.
