"Hmm..so far, the response I got was less than helpful...
Not sure. Try adding about 5% Flotrol which you can get at Home Depot. It could be that in the dry climate the product is flashing off too fast. The Flotrol will help slow it down a bit"
"The reason I said that is when I called them on the phone, they told me definitely not to use floetrol. I am in las vegas. It's about 45% humidity today only because we had rain last night but normally, it's down in the teens. I'll give the thinning a try at 10% using the extender along with the other suggestions. It's clear that some of my techniques were not exactly the norm so I'll try and do things a bit more consistent on my next pass."
I'm confused. Are you saying that someone at GF emailed you with the floetrol suggestion? And then when you called GF on the phone the chemist said to use extender instead? I've never used either with GF, but yes I was reminded that they have their own brand extender.
If low humidity turns out to be the culprit then I suppose you could invest in an inexpensive humidifier for your shop when finishing.

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
