bedliner reduced or not ?

[stephen44]

Just ordered this - great service as usual and when reading the tech sheet - (you all taught me well!) - I noticed talk about reducing for the first coat..so two questions

I am going to spray this on the frame of my 1967 F100 - sandblasted as well as it can be

and also the underneath of my cab - which has 8 month old spi epoxy on.(I am going to scuff first and give a quick fresh epoxy coat)

Do i need to reduce the first coat ? - what are the benefits ?
If I should use reducer - I did not buy any spi reducer - can i use anything else (sorry Barry) - as i wanted to do this tomorrow ?

thanks Stephen

The reducer on the first coat is for thinning the material so you can get a first full coverage coat on easily, the second coat is unreduced for texture, any quality urethane reducer should work fine.

You don't have to reduce it we have never reduced it

i add an ounce at a time until i get the finish i want.
