Thinners

RH Adhesives manufactures two solvent based thinners, HH-66 Thinner and RH All Purpose Thinner.

Our HH-66 Thinner is designed primarily for use with HH-66 Vinyl Cement. This solvent based thinner reactivates dried HH-66 or removes unwanted HH-66 from surfaces.

Our RH Thinner should be used as a companion product for our neoprene adhesives (Duall 88, S-18, XL-8, Clear-Tite HHR).

You can also use our thinners to clean brushes, rollers, spray guns and other types of applicators. Since the thinners are flammable, they should be used in a well-ventilated area. Handle empty contains with care as residual solvent is flammable.

General Thinner Application Instructions

If your coat of adhesive is no longer tacky

Use a brush or roller to apply a light layer of the appropriate RH Adhesives Thinner directly to the application. Bond the pieces together as per the adhesive directions.

If the product has thickened in the container

Add the appropriate thinner until the original consistency is reached. Mix until evenly dispersed.

To clean our adhesives from brushes, rollers, spray guns and other types of applicators

Follow the manufacturers’ recommended cleaning procedure. It is recommended to clean the applicator immediately after use. Our thinners are flammable and should be used in a well-ventilated area. Handle empty containers with care as residual solvent is flammable.

If the product is too thick for your application

Add the appropriate thinner as needed. Mix until evenly dispersed. Over dilution can cause loss of bond strength. A second application may be required to achieve the appropriate coverage for a good bond.

To spray our cements, our appropriate thinner can be used to dilute the product

Usefulness depends on the sprayer and application. It is not recommended to use more than 20% thinner for spraying. With diluted adhesive, a second application may be required to achieve the appropriate coverage for a good bond.
