Thinning Duratec Surfacing Primer for spraying...

General Composites Discussions Products Talk
#1

When you shoot Duratec Surfacing Primer, which of the recommended thinners do you use (MEK, fast acrylic laquer thinner, or ?) and what’s the viscosity (if you test it!).

I know from searching the threads that Evan’s using an HVLP gun with a 2 mm tip. I just bought a gravity fed HVLP gun w/ a 1.4 & 2.2 mm tip and I’m curious how successful others are with similar setups.

Any other spraying tips would be great too.

Thanks

you don’t have to thin it when using a 2.0 tip

#3

yeah if you use the 1.4 tip you will need to thin it out, I just use acetone, and never had a problem with it

Thanks guys, I’ll try it “raw” and let you now how it goes.

I always teach to thin to what you need first and then cataylst to orginal needs.

I like to thin with acetone if at all.
