You might want to read through my canvas application description. I tried to cover my techniques well. You might find something useful in there http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=54099&start=405 and if you keep reading a bit better info on the second attempt http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=54099&start=435.

I called the one in the next town, 25 miles down the road, and asked specifically if the label said Glidden and not PPG. They said it was Glidden, so I made the trip and I bought 5 gallons, even though it will be 6-12 months before I need it.
I'm sure there are still more 5 gal buckets of the original Glidden Gripper out there ... check the HD stores in smaller metro areas or where the turnover is lower.

Do not just mix random products (really?)
Randomly?? I asked purposely!! Told you what the two air and how they are based.
I'm sure if you're willing to pay you can still find genuine NOS Glidden.
Not within 150 miles of me..
And no I won't spend time searching for you, prolly just do old-school 411 + phone calls in a 50-100 mile radius.
Oh Gee.. Wish I had thought of that.. Call the stores.. And no, I have not asked you to search for anything. I asked if you had mixed??
For those reading this six months from now - start experimenting!
Start experimenting, yet "Do not mix"?? Isn't that part of experimenting??
So the simple answer would have been, "No I have not."
The community needs more pioneers. . .

Full strength, and not mixing.
I strongly encourage you in your efforts, Go Team Foamie!
