I finally figured out why my clear coat kept getting orange peel on hot days

Honestly, I was mixing my clear way too thick for years, thinking it would lay down better, until a painter from the shop in Dayton pointed out my booth temp was hitting 90 and I needed to adjust the reducer. Ngl, I lost a whole hood on a '17 F-150 before I got it. How do you guys change your mix for summer heat?

Actually, the reducer is what you change, not the hardener.

Man, that's a tough lesson to learn the hard way!

Tell me about it, I'm basically a cautionary tale.
