Mixing 6 to 1 means that more hardener is used so the paint dries much faster and the Shopline hardener produces a higher shine than the regular hardener. One of the complaints I often hear about the Case/IH paint is how slow it dries but mixing it 6 to 1 the paint was rock hard the next day and I was able to begin assembly. Hope this helps.

I am doing my homework before starting the restoration of a 70. Does the hardener kind of take the place of some of the reducer? It has been 20 years since I painted a tractor and I never used any hardener back then. Your restoration thread was second to none. I am new to the group and totally blown away by the content here.
