Hi People,
See Topic ^^

I'm assuming they are, but want to make sure. Maybe the Flow Improver and Drying Retarder are only for use with their regular paints?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

You mean mixing flow improver and/or drying retarder in the primer then applying?

If that's the case, my gut instinct is to advise against is - just use distilled water to thin the primer. Primer's job is to adhere to metal and give the paint some tooth to stick to. Flow improvers and retarders can have acrylic resins and other stuff in them so they react with the paints and do their jobs but that in turn could interfere and not allow the primer to do its job.

And we certainly don't want to have workers unable to do their jobs - they might decide to go union or something - then where would we be?

Thanks for your replay, and the laugh.

That makes sense. I'll just go with distilled water.
