So ausglock, substitute 20ml of denatured alcohol for acetone or just add 20ml to the 100ml of acetone? I can only swirl for 10 seconds before they start sticking. I'm already using 120ml to 20grams...

Are u saying to use a higher ratio, like 6:1 or use the same ratio but less the first coat? I mixed 50cc to 10grams which is what hitek recommends and 1cc per pound, using a syringe to measure. So I...
