2k Diamond varnish thinner

The solvent your 2K Diamond varnish needs to perform as it should

Working with two-component varnishes requires the right products at every step of the process. The 2K Diamond Varnish Thinner from Scaleauto (SC-9504D) is specifically developed to accompany Scaleauto's 2K Diamond varnish, ensuring the correct dilution and a clean application on the usual surfaces in modelling and slot car preparation.

Main features

• Specific formulation for Scaleauto's 2K Diamond varnish: ensures chemical compatibility and the expected behaviour of the varnish.
• Compatible with plastic, fibre and resin, the most common materials in slot car bodies and static modelling miniatures.
• 60 ml format, manageable and sufficient for several working sessions.

Applications and compatibilities

This thinner is designed for those using Scaleauto's 2K Diamond varnish in their painting and finishing projects. Its use is suitable for both slot car bodies —whether made of injected plastic or resin— as well as static models and figures where this varnish is used as a protective layer or glossy finish.

Using a non-specific thinner with two-component varnishes can alter the curing time, viscosity, and final finish. Employing the correct thinner, formulated for this specific product, is the safest way to achieve consistent and reproducible results.

Usage tips

• Add the thinner to the 2K Diamond varnish in small amounts, mixing progressively until the desired working viscosity is reached.
• Work in a ventilated space and with the usual protective equipment when handling chemical products.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed between uses to avoid evaporation and maintain its properties.
• Do not mix with thinners from other brands or with general-purpose diluents: you could compromise the varnish's results.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this thinner with other varnishes from Scaleauto or other brands?

It is specifically formulated for Scaleauto's 2K Diamond varnish. We do not recommend using it with other varnishes without first checking compatibility, as 2K varnish formulas are sensitive to the type of thinner used.

How much thinner should be added to the 2K Diamond varnish?

The exact ratio depends on the application method and environmental conditions. As a general guideline, it is recommended to adjust the viscosity gradually, adding the thinner in small doses until achieving the appropriate fluidity for airbrush or brush.

Is it compatible with resin bodies?

Yes, according to Scaleauto's information, it is suitable for plastic, fibre, and resin, common materials in both slot cars and static miniatures and models.

Is the 60 ml format sufficient for several jobs?

For regular scale modelling and slot work, 60 ml is enough for several sessions. The amount needed depends on the number of pieces and the level of dilution applied in each case.

The Scaleauto SC-9504D 2K Diamond varnish thinner is a dedicated solvent designed to work with Scaleauto's 2K Diamond clear coat. Suitable for plastic, fiberglass and resin surfaces, this 60 ml thinner ensures correct viscosity and proper curing when used in slot car bodywork painting, static scale model finishing and miniature detailing projects. Always pair it with the matching 2K Diamond varnish for best results.
