    Default Opaque White.....CREATEX or AQUAFLOW?

    I've been so dissappointed with Createx's white with having to redo highlights three or four times before I'm happy with it....to the point where I just mix Createx white with Delta Cremecoat (acrylic paint) white to get a better reponse from it (I do mix the delta cremecaot with the fabric medium first though, and just to say that it does not fade and I've had no problems with it so far, no returns from customers). But mainly I want bright white the first time around or even the second.

    Anyone else experiencing this with Createx?
    Is AQUAFLOW the answer?

    Also, about the black...Createx or Aquaflow...which is best?

    Hang tight Alicia. I'm not at all very experienced with any of the waterbased paints, just solvents. I guarantee an artist will post soon that has more experience with these particular paints soon.
    Love your worx!

    Hopefully so,
    I get very frustrated with the paint we have to use in order to paint a t-shirt.
    The way it clogs my airbrush, always putting my airbrush out of order, the stopping to clear it out.....really, I mean isn't this 2007?!
    I love the freeform and non pressure of it and just the joy of painting t-shirts now.
    It is just a really good exercise and a good way to make extra pocket money whenever I get a chance to paint shirts........
    So, I don't want to complain about the extra bread and butter on the table, but there's got to be some way to make this paint shoot better with less problems.

    Someone out there knows the secret.

    P.S.
    I did see your msg on the other thread. Much appreciated thoughts, please keep in touch.
    God Bless

    Alicia the paint you want to use is E-TAC . The product you want is in the Private Stock line. It flows like silk w/no tip dry costs $4 for 2oz bottle

    Airraid, are you sure Mike sells E-Tac?

    I tried to find it on his site without any luck mate.

    Yes the airbrush store in FL sells ETAC. I buy it from there. They just haven't updated there website yet. They sell it cheaper than if you get it directly from etac.
