I've been using TechDiamondTools pastes. Should the thickness and density of the pastes be the same for the 50k, 100k, and 200k?
My 50k is great, it's soft, and easy to apply. It rubs into the balsa in seconds.
The 100k seems thicker and dryer. Still usable.
The 200k is so thick and dry it's difficult to push the plunger into the syringe. It doesnt want to rub into the balsa. I'm also getting a lot of stiction when moving the blade along the balsa. It's not sticky to my fingers but it's very difficult to glide the blade smoothly across the balsa.
Is that normal?
Can I use paint thinner or similar to soften it up in the syringe?
I plan to try a different brand of 200k paste. I would prefer a paste that is extremely soft. Any suggestions?
