    I am trying to find a different reducer to use with this enamel every body only seems to handle stuff like acrylic enamel, not OLD school stuff anymore as I think the reducer is part of the problem. Also will try dropping the pressure down on the gun a bit.
    Thanks for all the ideas so far!!

    And I am not sure what the current temps are in Winnepeg, but if it is like the rest of us, right now is unusually hot. Most companies make a slow, medium, and fast reducer for varying temps. You should use a slow in Summer.

    Right now 88 above these guy`s only make one reducer for this paint, if you want a different reducer you have to source it from some where else.

    Who's paint are you using? At 88 degrees you need to use a hot reducer, one that slows down the evaporation and drying time of the paint product you are spraying.Forget about the difference in enamel vs acrylic enamel as the newer style enamels are polyurethane based and work well when mixed properly.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.
