T0031 Brushing Reducer to be used when brushing or rolling 545 Primer or AWL-QUIK® Primer.T0031 Brushing Reducer for Epoxy Primers and Urethane Topcoats. Use T0031 in AWLGRIP® Topcoats, 545 Primer, and AWL-QUIK® Sanding Surfacer in brush/roller applications. T0031 evaporates very slowly, keeping the paint film open, maximizing flow and leveling while minimizing brush marks and roller stipple. For AWLGRIP® Topcoats, add T0031 at 10 to 35% of the total volume of the mixed color base and converter. Application and cure temperatures between 60°F and 90°F (16°C and 32°C) produce the best results, with 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C) being the optimum. T0031 is not recommended for use in spray applications. If a retarder reducer is needed for spray application, T0005 should be used.
