  Greg.  The amount of thinner you use depends on whether you want to spray it
or roll it. Any spray gun needs a specific viscosity .  If you are rolling on
the first few coats, it will not take as much. If it is your first few coats
then I suggest you do roll it. As for pot life, I have kept it in a sealed
container for a couple of days and still used it. I have some in my spray gun
for the last week and have added a little thinner to revive it and it still
sprays OK. Nice job on the data plate. Thanks again.  Jim Rogers


[I found that if I mixed a bit too much for the priming to be done on a given 
day I could put the whole spray gun with the excess in the freezer and could 
leave it for a couple days.  The day I want to prime some more I take the gun 
out of the freezer first thing in the morning and it's warmed up & ready to 
spray after lunch.  OTOH, mixed material I left out would be pretty well 
kicked 24 hours later and there was no reviving it... but that's down here in 
the Florida heat.  YMMV         <Marv>                ]
