First of all, we must remember you that our leather edge paint are water based paint.
So, is possible to add some water into the paint? Absolutely Yes!!
But what type and how much water? You should use only Purified water. As our paints are water based paints (with no solvents inside), they are prone to bacterical attack. Regular water can contain bacteria that could eventually ruin the paint. So a general advice is to use only purified water when you want to diluite your paint. With this addition you can get the viscosity that you prefer.
How much water? You should add max 10% of water of the total volume of the paint.
