[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 87052, member: 3"] There is some legislation in the US that forces the paint guys to specify that you should not thin the product. They do this because thinning it creates more CFC or other hazardous gasses, but like I said before: Don't worry about what the tin says, just thin it down. If you are really worried, then do a test piece first and check the results. I have never had any issues with thinning, as long as you use the correct thinner in the product. I like the Nova polyurethane for indoor use. It does actually dry, and can be sanded without too much drama. If you have clogging problems when sanding, then try water-sanding your piece. The water stops the sandpaper from getting clogged up. As long as your wood has been sealed the water will not harm it. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
