    Default do you guys reduce everytime you clear?

    I forgot to reduce the last time I painted and I was stumped as to why it came out so peely, or ran when I got it looking glassy. I think that could have been the key ingredient that was missing. My old teach said about a capfull and it's always better to put in less than more.

    Any thoughts or advice?

    some clears take reducer, some dont. The stuff I use now is 2:1:20% so I add about 20%. Otherwise leave the reducer alone

    If you're using mixing cups you should be marking them with a permanent marker before you start. This will then indicate what you've mixed and what you haven't.

    thanks guys. So for omni mc 262 do you guys reduce? If not I think I need to thermomiter. Or at least eliminate temps. I'm still kind of piecing my paint stuff and for now and am running with the bare minimals.
