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

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?

You could add a little more mineral spirits
