I just opened a new bottle of H series paint and it is much thicker than I'm used to.  Thick enough it won't even flow through the filter.  Maybe it sat on a stockroom shelf for a long time before I got hold of it; at any rate, there is no way I'm going to put this on a gun as-is.

I can't find any mention of a reducer you can buy from them.  I haven't called them yet but I'm getting the impression they don't sell it.

Anyone have any tips (MEK)?   Thanks.

Called Cerakote and they want the lot number.  I guess they may try to blame it on a bad lot, but I sure would like to know what I could use to thin out this stuff.   I may do some experimentation to see if I get results I can live with.

I'd be concerned that thinning will affect adhesion.  Sounds like there's something wrong with that batch.  Let Cerakote replace it.
