Hataka Lacquer Thinner Substitute

Greetings gang,

Anyone know of a recommendation for a suitable substitute for Hataka Lacquer Thinner? I just got the Japanese Armor (lacquer) paint set from Hataka, but the seller didn’t stock any lacquer thinner and I’ve searched many on-line stores. I’d like to find a substitute for Hataka Lacquer thinner if possible. I’ve checked out a number of YouTube videos, but couldn’t find any answers.

Any help is most appreciated!

Thank you,

chuck

Thank you. I would have thought the few US suppliers of Hataka would also carry the thinners as well.

Thank you,
