I just picked up some jo sonja acrylics and I've read others mentioning how they put them into dropper bottles. For those of you who do that, do you pre-thin them at all with water or medium to keep in the bottle? They are quite thick and don't really come out as "drops" from my dropper bottles.

Be keen to know that myself.

I use JoSonja paints, they are a bit bulky to transport to my club so I bought some dropper bottles and stainless ball bearings to mix them, I simply use de ionised or distilled water reclaimed from my dehumidifier, I never thin acrylics with tap water. Also look on eBay for nail varnish laquer shakers, they are battery and mains, most don't come with a mains adapter so you also need to source one online, they are great for shaking Vallejo, etc. And you get a nice matte finish instead of partly mixed paint which invariably ends up drying with a satin or semi gloss finish.

I put in just enough water to get it to flow. I also put in a drop of retarder to keep it from drying out (just in case).
