i never knew it rained in CA ? you never change the ratio of a mix you would want to change the speed of your reducer and or hardener . the colder it is the faster you want with your hardeners and reducers to be . you want to lay the product down as it would state in your TDS (technical data sheet ). so if it tells you to lay down 2 wet coats then thats what you want to do . the temp you really want and is stated in most TDS sheets is 70 degrees . that would be substraight (panel)temp not air temp . most of the time the temp of the substraight is about 10 to 15 degrees colder than the air temp . when its colder you will need to give the products more flash time . with base colors you want to be able to tack it off between coats so if you can't touch it and not leave a mark then its not ready for the next coat . when it comes to your clear coats give it the finger test . that will tell you when its time for the next coat . what you want is to beable to touch the masking tape (were there is clear on it ) and be able to leave a finger print but not have any clear come off on your finger . do not ! do the finger test on masking PAPER because the masking paper will soak up any solvents and FLASH FASTER than it will on some thing like masking tape . some times when you get a run or a drip you can use a single edge razor blade and back blade it to scrape off the run . the key is to let the run dry completely before you want to mess with it . if you can take your finger nail and leave a mark in the run it is still not dry enough to remove . so let it alone untill it drys !
