warnings, appropriately so, from this list. Imron should not be the first
paint that you spray if you have never sprayed before. (I wouldn’t
spray it all without proper respiratory protection) There are safer
paints to apply with similar qualities. The warnings that you have been
given are correct. Imron gives off more polyisocyanates than most other
paints. These are dangerous and can cause respiratory trouble. I am
an ER doc and have seen it several times most often from “hobby”
type painters.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Humidity
is not a problem, dew point is. Since it is warm now in most places this should
not be a problem. The amount of reducer called out by the paint
manufacturer has two purposes, </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>1.
Reduce the viscosity so a standard paint gun can atomize</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>2.
Only reduce the viscosity barely enough as to meet EPA volatile organic
emmision requirements </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
PPG "reducer" amounts allow the car painting guy to seriously
"lay it on" with out fear of runs or overspray. Unfortunately laying
it on an airplane increases weight. A thicker clear coat will not really
protect your plane better than a thinner coat, so it is just weight. Adding
more reducer (its really a blend of different solvents) will allow for
thinner coats, less overspray, but can increase runs. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
reducer like I mentioned is a blend of solvents, and all of this 100%
evaporates and has nothing to do with the urethane chemical reaction that cures
the clearcoat. You can add as much reducer as you want without
reprisal...except from the EPA, which I doubt will go after an individual
pattern guy...but I could be wrong. So once you are comfortable with
increasing your local pollution level...add that 200% reducer!!!</span></font> <br>
