Have you folks found when using basic Nitro lacquer, that different brands of thinner make a noticeable difference?
"Lacquer Thinner" is a blend of roughly 7 solvents, so they DO vary.
I am having an issue where...used one brand of thinner at approx 30% sprayed and ended up great... now using a different brand thinner... no other notable changes.... orangepeel, sagging, etc.
I REALLY think it is not my adjustments, and similar weather, but 10 degree warmer... and I'm having some orange peel and when I try to fix it.. sagging.
I just did NOT have these problems the previous job using the first thinner.
The main change seems to just be the reducer.
I first used "Startex Premium",sprayed well, then second time used SW "SW - 1" w the problems above.
I am using Sher Wood Hi-Bild Lacquer T70FT5 approx 2:1 to Laq thinner.
I guess what I am asking is - Is it more likely a different formula of Lacquer thinner causing these problems, OR is it more likely the other many variables ??
