thinning LPS3

thinning LPS3

thinning LPS3

(OP)
I have 2 old jugs of LPS3 that are much thicker than I recall. I'd like to thin the LPS3 with some solvent that will evaporate harmlessly (to the LPS3) after application.

Suggestions?

thanks

RE: thinning LPS3

It's "thickish" anyway.  I'm not sure about solvents.  Can you pull up an MSDS sheet?  Take small batches and try different solvents?  Perhaps try LPS1 as a solvent?
