Description
Flow Improver is a must-have for modelers, figure painters, and diorama artists who want precision and control. By reducing drag and surface resistance, it improves how acrylic paint spreads across a surface—perfect for fine details, edge highlights, washes, or large surface areas. In airbrushes, it prevents clogging and keeps paint flowing longer, even during extended sessions.
Micro-Mark Flow Improver is included in these sets:
Item #29421 Essentials Acrylic Paint Set
Airbrush Railroad Acrylic Paint Set
Item #29270 Basic Airbrush Acrylic Paint Set
Modeling Use Cases
• Miniatures: Smooth fine linework, edge highlights, and face details
• Wargaming Models: Flow into panel lines, armor joints, and capes
• Model Trains: Enhance panel washes and weathering on rolling stock
• Airbrushing: Prevent tip dry and clogging for consistent spray patterns
• Drybrush Prevention: Stop paint from drying mid-stroke for smoother coverage
How to Use Micro-Mark Flow Improver
For Brush Use:
- Add 1–2 drops of Flow Improver per brush-load of paint on your palette
- Mix thoroughly until consistency improves
- Apply as usual—paint will spread more evenly with reduced drag
For Airbrush Use:
- Add 3–5 drops per 10ml of paint
- Mix well before loading into airbrush
- Spray as normal—paint stays wetter at the nozzle and flows evenly
Tips for Best Results
• Do not overuse—too much can affect adhesion or drying time
• Use with a wet palette to extend open time even further
• Combine with thinner when layering glazes or highlights
• Especially useful in hot, dry environments where paint dries quickly on the brush or airbrush tip
Also available in 8 oz container at Micro-Mark Flow Improver.

More Information:
Airbrush flow improver is a specialized additive used in airbrushing to address specific challenges associated with paint application through an airbrush. Flow improver is formulated to thin the paint while maintaining a consistent viscosity. This is crucial for achieving a balance between paint thickness and fluidity, ensuring that the paint sprays evenly without causing clogs in the airbrush. It contains ingredients that reduce the surface tension of the paint. Lower surface tension helps the paint flow more smoothly and prevents it from forming beads or droplets on the surface, resulting in a more even application. One of the primary functions of flow improver is to prevent tip dry, where paint residue accumulates on the needle or nozzle. By minimizing tip dry, artists can maintain a continuous and consistent flow of paint, reducing interruptions in the painting process. Ultimately, Flow improver aids in the atomization process, ensuring that the paint particles are finely dispersed in the air stream. This results in a smoother and more controlled spray pattern, ideal for achieving intricate details and fine lines. Note: It is recommended to add two drops of Improver for every ten drops of paint or to your personal preference.
