  All Humbrol put on their tins is "Use Humbrol thinners".
  These guys aint stupid !

  Now, I wonder what mineral spirits are over this side of the pond?

  Alan,

  Most Enamels are thinned with what we Yanks call
  "Mineral Spirits".  I'm not sure of your term at the
  moment, but the labels on the paint should say what to
  use.  I would think that the same stuff you use to
  wash the brushes would serve as an adequate thinner. 
  Maybe a little experimentation before ruining a whole
  bottle is called for.
