Ok. Well test #2 is complete. Now along with it, I preformed a test #3, due to a flaw I had found while performing test #2. This flaw also relates back to test #1, so test #4 has just been completed. I will get to the flaw after writing my test numbers.
Test #1 - Sig Butyrate and lacquer thinner, mixed in plastic shot glass. Result - blushed/cloudy/foggy
Test #2 - Sig Butyrate and MEK, mixed in plastic shot glass. Result - blushed/cloudy/foggy
Test #3 - Sig Butyrate and MEK, mixed on bottom of tin can. Result - Clear, honestly shinier than pure unthinned butyrate
Test #4 - Sig Butyrate and lacquer thinner, mixed on bottom of tin can. Result - Still clear, but will let dry completely
So, while performing test #2 is when I had noticed that my mixture was equally as cloudy in the plastic shot glass as was test #1. So I was thinking, could this be an issue, mainly the one causing my cloudiness? I did not have anything else to mix in, so I cleaned the pop can underside and mixed in the bottom hollow. Then as soon as I started mixing, the darn ink numbers mixed in with the stuff. I wiped out the bottom of the can and redid the test. Success, for the moment. I had to run out for a bit, and when I returned, it was still shiny. I was happy. And it appeared shinier than just the pure unthinned dope. So, after seeing this, I went and redid test #1 again and it is looking promising as well. I will keep posting as it goes. I will also mention that I am mixing small batches (2 drops of each) in the hollow of the can, mixing using wooded stick, and applying with the same.
