Title: Raptor bed liner, need it thinner!
Post by: Fin on March 27, 2016, 12:30:41 PM

I'm spraying the floor and under body with Raptor but I need it to be a little bit thinner than what is in the Jar. Been looking for info what to use as thinner but no luck. I think acetone is the thing but I'm not sure. What's your opinion?

You have to be careful if you thin it out. A friend of mine tried that and it peeled off. Has to be a certain thickness in order to be effective.

The problem was in the product itself.
I've used Raptor before (years ago) and there was no problem. This time, first can I used was thicker and it wouldn't spray right. All the other cans were ok. No idea why or what had happened to that can. All is good now.
