I got a small amount of this primer left over from a previous job. I got plenty of catalyst but am short on the recommended EP500 thinner. I need to use this on a small non critical job and am threatening to use lacquer thinner til I can get the right stuff in here next week for the rest of the job. I think I know that generally lacquer thinner thins epoxy with no problems( it works fine cleaning a paint gun used spraying epoxy)...anybody substituted lacquer thinner on Randolph epoxy primer and if so what were the results? No sermons please; just known results/tech info. Thanks Joe

edit: the label calls for up to 50% thinner and in my experience it does take somewhere near that much so we're talking a good bit of thinner here.
