Thanks Mike, very much appreciated.

David, thanks for sharing your experience. Thanks for watching.

Raul, agreed. Thanks for watching.

Hector, Ceatex Wicked Colors. Start with 10 percent 4011 and 5 percent 4030. Increase reducer if needed to until get good flow. I like the UVLS clear in place of the 4030. But 4030 is fine just make sure you use the 4011 NOT the 4012.

Hi Phil, I personally like and use the UVLS as a carrier for the Candy 2o only. I have tried it as a clear coat over projects and it is difficult to work with. Spraying any clear through an airbrush and getting it to lay down smooth is hard. I use off the shelf rattle can (usually Krylon) clear for interior projects and Spay Max 2K clear (in a can) for exterior projects. I hope this helps and thanks for your support.

Sprawl, All Createx products are made to spray right from the bottle but depending on what you are spraying it through you probably need to reduce to get a good flow. Createx recommends to start at 10% reducer and add from there until you get a good flow. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

@@TheAirbrushGarage ok gotcha, ya that makes sense, no problem, love your content 😎

You would use an inner coat to prevent colors from bleeding through when layering colors. A good example of this would be when layering the candy 2o's. Createx has now come out with a Bleed Checker that basically does the same thing. Some paints even though dry can be reactivated by another paint and bleed through. A good example would be a red color and you Spray white highlites over it, and now you have pink highlights. So the inner coat locks down the color so this doesn't happen. Search out a video of Tru fire with candies being used. That will best show how and why an inner is used. Thank you for the question. And thanks for watching.

Weathering so you only add colors not smudge them or pull the lower layers up. Just helps ensure your colors stay in place and safe.

John, through out the years like any other company Createx continually tries to improve there products but sometimes it's not always a winner. 4012 has Acetone in it which make it more hazardous and it also was not playing nice with the 4030 balancing clear. So they decided to scrap the 4012 and return to the 4011 which is proven to work with all there products. If you want to or need to use a balancing clear please use the UVLS 4050 they shouldn't even sell the 4030 in my opinion. There is no need for it and the 4050 is a superior product. As far as the difference between the 4011 and 4013, 4011 Contains Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate and the 4013 Contains Isopropyl Alcohol. So...4013 is a little milder and environmentally friendly. 4013 Reducer is compliant with clean air regulations and jurisdictions including South Coast AQMD Rule 1401. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

Hogman22, 4040 Bleed Checker is not used for exterior or uv protection and if you are going to use a 2k clear you will not use the uvls. The 2k has all the exterior durability and protection you need. I only use the uvls as a carrier for the candy 2o. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

You can still use it with your paints or as a cleaner. Just know that it has asatone in it and is not that great to breathe any airborn particles from it. I also fond it can be finicky with so.e Createx products. I never had a problem mixing it with Wicked or illustration colors. So....the answer is yes you can still use it. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

nvm..u clearly said to still use automotive clears

SRB, yes. That became the the problem. Thanks for the comment and watching.

Tom, two things. If you ever watch Craig Frasier (rep for Createx) explain how to mix 4012 with the 4030 he says when you add the 4012 to the 4030 let it sit for a few minutes and then start mixing slowly or you can "shock" (gel) the mixture. Also I have noticed that if the 4012 is "fresh" (new) I had a much better shot of it not gelling but yet that same 4012 that was gelling up my 4030 seemed to work fine with my paint. Bottom line is Createx came out with a product that worked but was hard to work with and if a costumer contacted them with a problem with using the 4030 they send you a sample pack of the UVLS clears and the 4011, hmmmmm. Also as I said in the video Createx has reverted back to the 4011 as there "go to" reducer. Some say it is because the 4011 has Acetone in it and his harmful when airborne and some think it is because it didn't work well universally across all of their products. Either way I only use the UVLS clears and the 4011 now and there is no issue's. Thanks for the comment and watching.

@@TheAirbrushGarage Dan thanks for the reply. I've just started airbrushing and chose the Createx line largely because of your channel and its overall popularity on the net. I appreciate you taking the time to explain. Your line . . . "Createx came out with a product that worked but was hard to work with . . ." was nicely worded. I have many years with full-size paint guns on cars, boats, RV's, etc. I'm usually shooting something in my shop just about every day. Besides your own skillset and equipment, the product is just as important. Hope you don't mind the questions, just trying to make sure I get off on the right foot with this new venture. Cheers.

Julian, Createx recommends 10% or 1 drop per 10 uvls. Not an exact science. I actually use a little more like 3 to 10. Hope this helps and rhanks for watching.

@@TheAirbrushGarage wow thank you so much for such a quick response! I’ll get some today and mess around with it to see what works best

Hi Ben, I wish I could help but I never used that before.
