How much water should a person use to thin out your mixed paint? Should the paint still be on thick side or on a watery thin side?

I kept it on the thick side and it worked well. I don't have an exact amount, sorry

looking at the picture of the paashe h I'd say yes. I put different colors in 10 bottles and only use it maybe once a week Just shake it up or stir it before use and to help keep my air gun clean between paints I use thinner to make sure all paint is gone, you can use water but I found paint stayed behind sometimes.

You have mix the paint with water until it flows through the black piece with the small hole. If the paint is to thick you have to constantly clean it. Took a few tries to get it right. Hope this helps.

M/S paints are exceptionally good quality paints. Some of them are a bit thick, the high-gloss paints, more so than others. Paints also get thicker as they age. I don't know what the shelf life is on these paints, but I have found that they do tend to thicken to almost a "gel like" substance the older they get. Adding water is okay and does not effect the outcome of your project - as long as it's only a small amount of water. Too much water will make the paints lose some of the gloss effect and will not cover as thoroughly. If the paint is too gel like or too thick already, I would advise buying a new bottle (or set) to insure the best outcome for your project. The paint should Not be 'gel like' brand new. It should be thick but easily useable. A word of caution: Hobby and Craft stores, as well as Paint stores, often put their paints On Sale as they enter the end of their factory recommended shelf life. The paints are still good, but best used right away. Paints are also put On Sale as new colors hit the market and old ones fall out of favor, so not all paint 'on sale' has necessarily reached it 'sell by' date! I hope this info is helpful!

I hit my cracks with the hose to clean them out, let them dry, then just used the bottle's applicator to fill everything in. It will shrink if you fill too much at one time, so apply in layers for deep or wide cracks. When you're done, rubber band a plastic bag over the tip and the rest will keep till your next fill.

I have had occasions when the paint required thinning. However be careful as it can become runny and will require more coats to obtain a good finish

I read instructions on the can, nothing mention about using brush to paintI was used with air sprayer .This liquid very thin ( like.... water, solvent)

it is rather like a can of spray "paint" the closer you are to your "crack" the smaller, thinner or narrow the flow will be. and holding the spray can further back from the "crack" the wider your spray will be. for that wide a crack, i think i would spray back and forth a few times to fill in that big of an opening. practice helps for fine work. hope that helps ya and rGlyjim

Yes, you do have to mix the paints. No big deal at all. Equal parts of each. I use just a little bit with even amounts and mix with a toothpick. Just a small amount will last. Also, I have an eye dropper and add 1 drop of water to mix in when it starts to dry out.

I added a tiny bit of water to make application easier. It does dry quickly even with added water. I did white and then painted black zebra stripes and it worked very well!

A general rule of thumb is 1/2 oz of powder to 1 oz of paint. However, the less powder you use, the fainter the glow, the more powder you use, the greater the glow. Also, it is best if you add the paint to the powder, rather than the powder to the paint. Good luck!

the mixing ratio is used to mix paint or thin it you might have a ratio on a finish that says thin with 3 parts finish 1 part thinner than you use that scale so you can see how much to thinner to use for so much finish

It covers better than they say, I did a 20' camper with 2 gallons and had a little left over, so I'd say 3 or 4 would do ya. Mix it well. It is really thick. Use a big brush to get blobs out and then spread them out with a squidgy. Don't pour it out of the can, you will get too much in one area. Get a big spatula to get the last of it out of the can. Use a small brush to paint the edges, and don't bother masking because when you pull up the tape you will break the seal. Great stuff, my roof looks great and no longer leaks.

With the nickel finish you'll generally want paint with thinner, otherwise stuff gets gummy on the inside, use thinner and clean well and you'll be golden. On long work projects I recommend cleaning after 60-90 minutes of use then resuming.

In order to make the topping 2 inches thick, you're going to have to use several coats or make a form around the surface. Otherwise it will just run off. To meet your needs it should take about 12 1/2 gallons. Expect a long drying time.

I waited a couple of hours between coats. I did very thin coats. I found this paint dried in a similar fashion to others. It wasn't significantly longer For drying time in my experience

Unless it has an oily film I do not use anything except to roughen the surface slightly. I have used a light application of paint thinner to remove any oily substance. My biggest problem is trying to keep the dry mix in place before the liquid is applied, I have used tape to accomplish this. I marvel at the quick set up and strength. of this product. Good Luck!
