Mixing TM's

Thought I had an extra stash of ThreadMaster regular. Discovered it was another brand. I have several rods to finish in the next few days and I am rather low on Regular TM.... but I do have most of a set of TM Lite left. Have any of you mixed approximate equal portions of TM Lite with TM Reg? What results did you get? I certainly can experiment but if that goes south I have used up what little Regular I have left. I will order more tomorrow but I may have to do yard work when I could be building rods. Thanks

This would be a question you should ask TM about

Steve, I will have to get with my Chemist and ask him and I will do so today. But why don't you just do multiple coats of the lite? I know it takes more time but you can get the same results. I will try to get back to you later this afternoon. Thanks for using our finish. Scott Parsons

IT takes 5 minutes to experiment, and you don't have to worry abotu a bogus answer.

FWIW, I mix Aftcote and Threadmaster on every rod I build.
