KBS Coatings Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 You can thin DiamondFinish Clear with acetone, but acetone flashes off very quickly making it not the ideal reducer, so we always recommend KBS #1 Thinner, which is a slower evaporating solvent blend. Please let us know if that helps and if you have any additional questions.

KBS Coatings Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 When spraying, thin/reduce DiamondFinish Clear with KBS #1 Thinner or Xylene ONLY and 10%-15% is normally adequate. DiamondFinish Clear can be thinned up to 30%. Please let us know if that helps and if you have any additional questions.

Sumo Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I have found different answers on thinning finishes. Do you have a formula that you use? I’d like to know how much thinner would be needed for 32 ounce of diamond finish clear? For 10% for 20% and for 30% Quote Link to comment https://success.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1798-thin-diamondfinish-clear-with-acetone/#findComment-5438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, lacquer thinner is not a compatible reducer or thinner for DiamondFinish Clear. Please reduce or thin with KBS #1 Thinner or Xylene only.
