## Questions & Answers

**Q: What’s the difference between the 4012 reducer and the w500 reducer?**
A: Hello,

It is the same product. You can see it on the label, it says 4012/W500. Createx use to make separate additives for each paint series but now they've made them universal for every paint they manufacture.

**Q: Will this work with other airbrush paints?**
A: Yes. It works fine with all brands.

**Q: Will this work with Games Workshop brand paint?**
A: It is usually best to buy the same breaks reducers for paint. It you are not working with a paint That was designed for airbrushes, you may need to experiment reducing it to find one that works. Createx is a water based acrylic paint, it may work with similar though I have never tried.

**Q: Will this work with the older Auto Air candies?I talking about the candies before the candy2o.**
A: It will but not well.
