[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 437853, member: 13599"] Sun - modifying paints and varnishes only comes with experience. in the sign painters world, we have no control over the environmental conditions when painting outside.... when it is hot and dry, we would use the slowest evaporating thinner we can find plus a few drops of kerosene. Naphtha and Turpentine are slow evaporating thinners and mineral spirits and is a bit faster. so in your condition, I would suggest Naphtha or Turpentine as the thinner and another conditioner such as Flotrol or Penetrol as a modifier ..... some are specific to latex water based paints and some are specific to oil-based paints.... be sure to use the correct one for your products. follow the directions on the label. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Penetrol.jpeg"]93272._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Naphtha.jpg"]93273._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Kerosene.jpeg"]93274._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Turpentine.jpg"]93275._xfImport[/ATTACH] you could perform your own experiment with putting equal amounts of each thinner in the same size container - such as bottle caps and compare the evaporation rates under controlled conditions - such as in your garage or outside under cover and check them daily. the slowest rate of evaporation would be your choice of thinner for 100* temps with low humidity. mix only the amounts you think you will need for the project at hand do not return any modified products back to the original container or the whole can could ruin in a short time. .
