What happens here

After mixing the catalyst, consider adding Centurion Thickenener (CW-9002) to the paint. This is especially beneficial for dark or vibrant colors. The thickener increases the paint's body, allowing for a heavier mill thickness per coat, which helps prevent runs and drips, and improves the hang of the paint. Add about one tablespoon of thickener per gallon of paint, or as needed to achieve the desired consistency, ensuring it's thoroughly stirred into the mixture.

Goal: Adjust the paint's consistency for better application, especially with dark or vibrant colors.
