I have two new gallons of two different colors Sherwin Williams BAC stain
Both wayy too dark, need to reduce.
I have in the past used MS, up to 2:1 to this same specific Stain, but for current project want more working window time.
Is there anything I can thin with.. or add.. to extend working time slower than Mineral Spirits ?
Would like longer "open" or working / wiping time than MS gives.
No problem waiting a few extra days before Nitro Lacquer.
BLO ?
And if BLO, what kinda ratio.. and is it FOR SURE not gonna cause any trouble ?
O.. and it has to be readily available due to living very rural.. must be available at typical Lumberyard paint dept.
Closest "Paint" store 90 miles, would really prefer not to wait or pay for ship.
Here's info from SW-
"To lighten any SW BAC system color, add
clear base S64T50 to achieve the desired color you are looking for.
Also, these solvents below may be used to adjust the drying time or strength of the stain.
1. VM&P Naptha for faster dry time (R1K3)
2. Mineral Spirits for medium dry time (R1k4)
3. 140 Flash Naptha for a slower dry time (R1K140)"
Thank you, Marc
