Not tried it. Dont think there would be an issue, other than dry time. Be sure that it's used with a 100% acrylic paint. IF it were me, i'd just stick with floetrol for SW products, and the BM extender for AURA.

Have a look at XIM extender, haven't had any problems yet

I havent, and i can say that i dont think i would. Aura extender if specifically formulated for Aura's unique configuration. normal latex extenders such as XIM and floetrol do not work in Aura, so its logical to conclude that aura extender would not be compatible with standard latexes either. Im not an aura expert, but that's my 2 cents anyhow

I haven't tried floetrol yet but I like xim alot.

Be careful adding these products, they can make the paint sticky, or change the property to where it is always soft. Never add more than 1 pint per gallon, any more is asking for trouble.
