Help thinning createx paint

[Bonstrosity]

I recently got into airbrushing and am excited to get started except I am having trouble w/ the paint. I got a master g23 airbrush w/ their starter kit w/ paint. I can't for the life of me get this stuff to flow well by reducing it with water. I can never get it thin enough to do a thin line, the paint will be very inconsistent when flowing it'll flow out, then stop, then go again. I do not have the control to really bring the line and flow down and close in. Any suggestions on reducing this paint?

It is very comon for tip dry and flow problems with all textile acrylics. Opaque White and Black are the worst. The transparant colors are not as hard to work with. I do not normally thin my colors down because I like to have a high color saturation to keep my paintings vibraint. If I do, I only use a little water and that is all. Some people use a mix of alcohal and 409, or other things but the truth is if you don't have an airbrush with a teflon packing ring it will be dried out and destroyed by the alchohol and it will cause faster tip dry on the needle, because of the excelerated evaperation. I am not sure of the style of airbrush this is, but if it is a bottom feed you can use a psi of 45 to 60 to help and keep a moist hollow body Q-tip handy to gently spin on the tip of the needle to take off the dried paint. Just be careful not to bend the needle tip.

O I am sorry I forgot to mention you can add some stuff called the lube put out by Medea I beleave it is just some supper lube that is used for lubricating airbrushes. It can be thick but it dose stop tip dry, so I would play around with the mix till you get the right consistancy for your airbrush.
