Title: CAldercraft AP9205 Metal Primer Thinning
Post by: essex2visuvesi on September 03, 2010, 10:01:29 am

I have some of this and It doesnt say on the jar what thinner to use.

The stuff stinks to high heaven, I used acetone to clean the brush when I used it but its a little too thick so would prefer to thin it a little

I have emailed both Jokita and CMB but I have had no reply
