So what thinner did you use "all the way through" then ?
Dan
HI Dan,
I use only Dupont 3608S thinner in all my dope and lacquer products. Have been doing it for about 20 years now.
Never use Dupont thinner with a "V" suffix!*Your Mileage May Vary* was thrown out for all the guys who insist that you must use only one manufacturer's products all the way through. It is something I would definitely do if I was charging a customer $20,000 for painting a car, like one of my buddies used to do. But, if I had to do that on model airplanes, I would probably not have finished a single plane since the '70s. I use whatever product I have on hand, and nothing has bit me so far. I mix Sig Dope, Randolph Dope, Certified Dope, Duplicolor Lacquers, and Dupont Chromabase paints. Never put nitrate over any other paint I use, and I do not clear Chromabase with Dope or Lacquer. I will put automotive urethane clear over any other paint, including Rustoleum types.. Short version,
I mix and match all my *lacquer* paints.Of course, I have not used Aero Gloss Dope or Testors Dope in well over 30 years. Those WOULD cause compatibility problems back in the day.
