    I bought this can of SEM Trim black fro mthis store, its not even the original SEM label. I think they divided the
    gallons and copied the label and taped it to the can.
    Anyway on the label it asks to be thinned 1:1 with a “good quality acrylic lacquer thinner”.
    But in the TDS in SEM website ( http://sem.ws/images/tech_files/TRIM%20TDS.pdf ) it asks to be reduced 1:1 with
    SEM SR reducer.

    So what should I do? :blink: :wak

    Try a test panel with some urethane reducer. Hell the reducer just evaporates out anyway.

    I used it un-reduced…it’s been awhile but I don’t recall it being heavy bodied at all….I used my 1.2 mini-jet without a problem.

    If it needs thinning (your call) use lacquer thinner (amount again your call )

    but I don’t think I thinned in the past either , but it’s bin a while
