Does anyone have any experience mixing Prestec with Duratec additive 904-001 to improve flow-out


No experience with the additive. I did completely refinish my Std Cirrus this winter using Prestec. You can view the process at the Sid Cirrus Yahoo Group site. It is a folder titled 209 project.

It turned out nice. Sprayed with conventional gravity feed gun. Added 30 percent acetone to aid flow out

No experience with the Duratec additive. In my experience, the best way to get it to flow out is to use a good quality slow flash lacquer thinner like Dupont 3602S. Use many thin coats to avoid sagging and overthin the last coat to help everything lay down.
