   One thing you might want to consider is in your final light coat of
reducer, add just a 'little' retarder, this will let the reducer work even
better.  I find that on the one or two days a year when the humidity is below
110% here, that this works extremely well.  It seems to allow the reducer
time to soften the finish a little and flow, smooth itself out, just a little
more.  Plus there is no overspray problem as in one area drying before you
can lap it in with the next pass of reducer.
