Cutting createx.....

Is water the only thing that is appropriate. When using the Iwata with the fine tip its difficult getting an even flow. Just curious.

I've been using Golden Airbrush medium for a while and
really like it.

Createx also makes a retarder which can help with tip build up.
I have also used the 4011 auto air reducer with good results.

I find with createx that you have to filter it. No matter how thin you have it. I use women's knee socks (hosiery) and medicine cups. You may be may be amazed on how much better it sprays and the nice coverage you get.
I've switched to using a lot of golden and the iwata paints. They flow so much better. More pricey per ounce but they eliminate lots of issues. However last I checked, the golden paints have changed some to more transparent instead of opaque.
