Is it fine to use the same reducer for single stage Urethane paint and Epoxy primer? Specifically, Grow Automotive HET 1370 "100% virgin solvent Urethane Reducer" with SPEEDOKOTE 2.1VOC EPOXY DTM PRIMER / SEALER.

The SPEEDOKOTE Epoxy primer recommends reducing with 10% of their Zero VOC reducer. Unfortunately, this wasn't mentioned when I bought the primer, and I'd prefer not to pay $15 shipping for $13 reducer, if the Urethane Reducer I have will do the job.

Thank you for your input, it's much appreciated.
