I used a small amount of lacquer thinner...working without it being thinned a bit was like brushing honey on! Thinning it a little made it wonderful to work with, and the finish is awesome! Did a wood top for making a bathroom vanity out of an antique buffet. Wonderful product!

Brush application - Epifanes thinner for paint and varnish or a good quality mineral spirit or turpentine Brush application - Epifanes spray thinner for paint or varnish is what the can says. For this and other solvent based finished, I have had great luck when I pass 3-4 seconds worth of carbon dioxide to the can with lit on top but open enough for my air gun to be shoved down into the can but above the product. You may want to get an old air tank filled to say 50 psi and use a regulator to drop pressure to 5- 10 psi IF you can't see spending for a carbon Carbon dioxide tank and regulator. Heavier than air, it displaces oxygen and prevents skimming of cans that are only partially full.

It's very thin. I would say 1", yet it thinned much more with only about a week of use.

I have no idea what that is, but it's a pretty solid product and you can choose the thickness you want. I cut it with a mat knife, if that helps.

we did not need to thin ours and it worked great. I would check the manual that came with the machine just to make sure.

I think you could "shim" the thickness using foam or rubber pads from Michael's or some other hobby store.

I think it is too thick. If you thinned it you could probably spray it, but that would defeat the purpose of it being a gel.

Buy Berryman's B-12 at the auto supply store. Get the liquid, not the aerosol. Use it to thin the material in the can. It can be repeated as often as necessary. Don't add too much thinner and get the coating thinner than originally.

I am not sure as it is not listed on the bottle. However, I can tell you that it is "very" thin. Think water! Maybe a bit too thin for my purpose.

You can use any of the following instead of the covers: Band-aids, sport tape (cut to fit), coban wrap. Coban & Band-aids are flesh coloured to be inconspicuous. Sport tape holds extra well if you don't care that it's white.

I bought a spray top that you attach to it and then I spray the product on my hair where it needs to hide the thinness.

I know for small scrap booking ones they say to use aluminum foil. Your suppose to chop it up a few times. Not sure of this works, but it might help.

I'm now down to the bottom quarter of a can that has no bar-code on it - I think I picked it up in the early 1980's? I used it today and it hasn't thickened perceptibly. I ALWAYS keep it tightly closed and upright. I suspect you could thin it with acetone if it did thicken.

Add a little water to your thick conditioner to thin it out. All conditioners are water soluble and I have done this with hard to pump bottles the product comes in to make it pump easier.

Picture a sheet of construction paper covered with the silicone. It's thin but does the job very nicely.

Do not thin it as it is just right for clinging on metal. Buy the inexpensive sprayer they offer as it does a good job. Also the spray cans with the thin plastic probe nozzle is great for difficult areas or where you want to control the amount and not overspray onto something else.

It's double-sided tape, and they're extremely thin. Unless you have a very steady hand, expect to end up throwing out a few of the pre-cut strips.
