You should check if your material is of the correct viscosity (before pouring it into
the material container)
by performing the flow cup test.
To work out the DIN/s rating of your coating material:
Place your finger over the hole of
the included flow cup and fill it to
the brim with your chosen material.
At the same time, release your
finger from the hole, and start the
timer. Stop the clock when the flow
cup has completely drained of paint.
If you find that your coating
material has a viscosity rate of, or
above, 100 DIN/s (meaning it takes
longer than 100 seconds for
material to pass through the flow
cup), then it is too thick and will
need to be thinned.
How to thin coating material
If your chosen coating material took longer than 100 seconds to pass the flow cup
test, you will need to thin it using water or paint thinner.
To dilute your coating material:

Pour into a fresh container.
Add 1/2 a cup of water for every gallon of paint. (If using paint thinner, add
