Thinners & Retarders

How to use:

1. Begin with your chosen Viponds water-based paint.
2. Determine the desired dilution level based on your project needs. Start by adding a small amount of thinner.
3. Slowly incorporate the thinner into the paint while stirring continuously. This ensures a uniform mixture.
4. Carefully observe the consistency. If further thinning is required, gradually add more thinner. Exercise caution not to over-dilute, as this can affect paint performance.
5. Perform a test application on a scrap surface to confirm the desired paint flow and coverage.
6. Once you achieve the right consistency, your paint is ready for application using your preferred method.

How to use: 

1. Select your Viponds water-based paint. 
2. Begin by slowly adding the acrylic retarder to the paint while stirring continuously. The recommended ratio typically ranges from 5% to 10%, depending on your project conditions.
3. Ensure thorough mixing to create a consistent paint mixture.
4. Apply the paint as usual, taking advantage of the extended drying time and improved flow and wet edge.
5. Keep in mind that the addition of a retarder prolongs the drying and curing of the paint film. Plan accordingly, allowing for an additional 2 hours before recoating and 2 days for complete curing.
