Do you use water with acrylic paint?

Any more than this may cause the polymer in the Acrylic paint to break down and lose its adhesive qualities, resulting in peeling or flaking at some stage or the lifting of the paint when you paint  subsequent layers. to be safe, many manufacturers suggest that you use no more than 30 percent water to thin acrylic when painting on a nonabsorbent surface .
