Haven't tried matte medium. What I usually use is plain water or a mix of Reaper Flow Improver and water. Is there a particular brand that seems to work best...
white glue as a paint additive? never heard of such a thing. IMHO, I don't think that would work at all. i've used future floor wax, thinned down, as a...
... Glycerized water is just airbrush thinner without the alchol. You can pick up a bottle of glycerin at Walgreens. I use a 8 to 1 ratio water to glygerin....

When just using the two-parter for glueing purposes instead of modeling (since I've rarely used it for this purpose myself), I'm curious how thinly you make...
I once used Duco 5 minute epoxy glue on a dragon figure to attach the wings (with a couple of small pins). Someone dropped it, and the wing broke off, not at...
