Painting Observation

[mtnrat]

When applying epifanes 2 part polyurethane I found that I would get much better flow in the evening when it was cooling down as compared to the morning when it was warming up. At both times the temperatures were pretty close. Evening applications had no tipping marks while the morning they were a little more evident.

How much are you reducing the base paint?

Re: Painting Observation

Ah ha. There in lies the problem. I was sent spray reducer instead of brushing reducer so how about 0 %. or

Re: Painting Observation

You can use either, try 10% it will slow drying time's and get you a smoother finish.

Re: Painting Observation

The spraying reducer will flash off a bit quicker than the brushing version. Stands to reason as you can spray quicker than you can brush. Do what tail-gunner recommends - you should be O.K.

Re: Painting Observation

I am using those rollers. I gleaned that info from your painting thread. Will try a little w/o tipping to see what happens.
