Should I thin my finish?Updated 3 years ago
Generally there is no need to do so. In fact, most of the epoxy finish manufacturers recommend against it. If you need a less viscous finish for easier application, slightly warm the bottles containing the hardener and resin. You can do this in a microwave oven (tops loosened and heated for no more than 10 seconds - use caution), in a pan of hot water, from the heat of a hair dryer, or by putting them in your pants pockets for about 15 minutes (you have to be wearing the pants for this to work).
Higher working temperatures create an intially thinner finish, but one which sets up faster. Cooler temps result in a thicker initial finish but one which takes longer to set-up.
The depth of thickness on your wraps is more closely related to how much finish you apply, rather than to how thick the finish mix is.
