Yes, but NOT the other way around.  As you know there is Nitrate thinner for strictly Nitrate dopes.. But Butyrate thinner will work as well. I do this all the time with NO problems. H^^

THE REASON IN ASKING IS I BOUGHT 2 QUARTS OF NON TAUTING NITRATE INSTEAD OF BUTYRATE SO I WAS GOING TO USE IT FOR THE FIRST  COATS OF CLEAR BEFORE I APPLY SILK AND ATTACH IT WITH THE NITRATE THEN USE BUTYRATE FOR SHRINKING AND FINISHING...
