I'm guessing this product isn't around anymore as I can't find it with an internet search. I have a can that's gotta be over 20 years old and it still works good. Since it's not made anymore, does anyone know of a substitute? (it's a "flow enhancer" for enamels)

It's called Chromaflow (I think) chromatic/1 Shot still makes it but my supplier won't stock it. Love....Jill

Edge, Chromaflo, Penetrol, they all work about the same, equally well. Penetrol is much easier to find, anywhere that sells house paint will have it.

We bought Edge from Lou Simons in about 1986 and kept it in the Chromatic product mix because it worked well for bulletin painters. We then developed Chromaflo with a blend of reducers appropriate for the changed/changing alkyd resins available as well as resin enhancers. 1Shot 6000 is virtually the same, adjusted for the again changed resin formulae at the time it was created. Penetrol is based in mineral spirits, not a reducer blend appropriate for alkyd resins in lettering /bulletin enamels. While it may make the paint work better, it can effect adhesion and durability. Because you are thinning the original enamel, adding resin enhancers is critical for curing, adhesion and durability.
