Thinning Optilux 505 Reflective Ink?

[juliesd]

After talking to ICC Ink, it seems like this won´t work with Optilux 505 as some of you wrote, it will not dilute enough with curable reducer and it won´t airdry. So I´ll have to find something else 

Anybody know this product, Textilca Cat-Eye from Manoukia? Think someone mentioned Manoukia in an earlier post.

I know it´s in German, which some of you won´t speak, but it says that it´s water-based, so seem to be the right thing??

Sbrem; I have the two lamps attached on the camera lense. One on top one below

Agian, thank you all for your responses.

Actually it's Manoukian which is or was an Italian WB latex based product line. Sorry don't have any contact #s other than TW Graphics

thin it with paint thinner.  I normally wouldn't recommend this, but paint thinner will cause plastisol to get hard and unworkable in about 24 hours.  it should make it so the garments and backdrop are at least wearable.

but, then you will need to cure the ink before throwing it out as it's not landfill friendly.

May have to step up from the plastic squeeze trigger spray bottles though.

oh, yeah, go get a sprayer from harbor freight.

waterbased might be a better route on this one.

So I tried mk162s suggestion. I mixed the ink with something called Mineralsk Terpentin in Danish (I live in Denmark). I guess you call it mineral turpentine in English? It worked. Passed through the spray and kept the reflective effect. Yeah. Though it´s not very healthy to inhale or wear.... Luckily I won´t have to wear it for too long. My whole studio stinks of turpentine now. Eww...
Some of you mentioned I should use another sprayer, why is that? For security as the plastic might get effected my the chemicals or just practical?
Have a nice weekend

My thinking was that many plastic sprayers do not hold up to petro-chemicals.
Then again, you did say that you only needed brief use.
