4020 - Reducer

paint may prematurely cure, seed in the cup
and create cured paint particle
contaminants.

tip-dry.

but generally: • Airbrush: Mix 4011 1:1
4020 • Spray-gun: Mix 4011 3:1 4020

4040- Bleed Checker

|
- 4040 Bleed Checker is a hybridized,
urethane-acrylic clear used as an inter-coat
intended for application over candy2o to prevent
the candy2o’s dyes from bleeding into
top-coated colors.
- Apply 4040 Bleed Checker over candy2o as an
inter-coat. After 4040 has thoroughly dried
(30 – 60 minutes), other colors including
subsequent candy2o colors may be applied direct
without scuffing. 4040 will prevent the
underlying candy2o’s dye from leaching
(“bleeding”) into the top-coated
colors.
- Apply 4040 Bleed Checker not reduced, straight
from the bottle when applying as an inter-coat
over candy2o. Do not reduce with 4011
Reducer as it’s a solvent used with candy2o
and use of it in 4040 will create a shared
material between candy2o and 4040 which may allow
for bleeding.
