Sooo, I was thinning down some Scalecoat II SP Scarlett, and my hand slipped and I WAY overdid it on the thinner. Short of buying a new jar of paint, is there a way to remedy this? Could I just let it sit until some of the thinner evaporates? Thanks all :embarassed:
I have a feeling you may be needing a new bottle of paint. mg: There are some great modelers here, so hopefully they'll have a idea. I'll move this over to the model RR side, The Inspection Pit. And hope someone will be able to help you! Good luck! Boxcab E50
You mean that's not where I put it? Definitely a sign I should put down the paintbrush and get some sleep mg: I suppose I could possibly let the paint separate and pour some of the thinner off once it floats to the top. If it works, great! If not, I need a new bottle anyway :embarassed: . Note to self- big can of thinner+small jar of paint=trouble
Treat yourself to a new bottle of paint. You can then add small amounts of the thinned paint to the new bottle as you use the new paint. Stay cool and run steam.......
Scalecoat II is very tolerant of extra thinning. If you thinned it to less than 50% thinner you can probably use it as is, it will just take an extra coat or two for good coverage. If you thinned it more than that, make a small shallow pan out of aluminum foil and pour the paint in. With it spread out in a thin layer the solvent will evaporate very fast (keep a close eye on it so it doesn't dry too much, and do it in a well ventilated area away from open flame!)
