Not sure about the 72hr rule Neal? I can only guess a chemical based thinner (as opposed to water) may alter the chemical make up of the paint, which then effectively voids what it says on the tin so-to-speak. Never had problems with storing thinned down solvent based stuff in the past, but not sure about acrylics. If it was all for personal use I'd experiment, but not if you're charging customers as one flakey shell could ruin a good reputation.

Yes i'm up at 40psi also. thinned the same way (but with faskolor thinner) but still not happy with it.
It's just for my own shells, I certainly wouldn't want to charge a customer for my painting. I've been testing this white on lexan offcuts, as i was not happy with it.
