Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick after adding the thinner.
Add a small amount of thinner at a time, stirring thoroughly, until the desired consistency is achieved. Avoid adding too much, as this can affect the paint's properties.
Brushes are still hard after cleaning.
Soak the brushes in the thinner for a longer period, and then try working the bristles gently to remove all paint residue. Repeat if necessary.
Paint is not drying after adding thinner.
Ensure that the paint and thinner are compatible. In some cases, old paint may have lost its drying properties, and the thinner won't fully restore it. Consider adding driers if the paint is old.
