Tamiya extra thin cement

From Facebook: " .... Tamiya airbrush cleaner and Tamiya extra thin cement are the exact same thing so save some money and buy the cleaner you get a lot more for you money I've been using it for years."

That is really good news if it is "exactly" the same.

A little research suggests that the formula is nearly the same except the airbrush cleaner has 1% more acetone and 1% less n-Butyl Acetate, whereas Tamiya Extra Thin is exactly 50/50. I suspect that the difference actually makes no difference!

Good find but the airbrush cleaner is very difficult to buy in the UK.

I’ve also been told that Mr Hobby Tool Cleaner is just cellulose thinners! Either way they are both excellent airbrush cleaners with one being cheaper than the other.
