Q on retarding acrylic paints when airbrushing

[OCMRRC Jeff]

I have heard that you can add something to the paint/thinner mix to slow down the drying of the paint as you airbrush, and that would help give you some more time when you are finished painting to start cleaning.
Is there anything to that?

If you Google "acrylic paint retarder" you'll get a bunch of information.
