Status: offline 		Hi, Can any of you gents out there advise me on how to thin epoxy i.e. to make it brushable to fuel proof an engine compartment for example ? I used rubbing alcohol with 5 minute epoxy and ended up with a goowy horrible result. Any advise appreciated.Thank you.

Status: offline 		Nail polish remover will not be a good substitute, it has other additives. I have used denatured alcohol and acetone. I prefer the latter, IMO it mixs more evenly especially if you are using faster drying epoxy.

If possible stay away from 5 mins epoxy. Adding acetone does not add that much time before it cures.

edited for spelling.

Status: offline 		Try some 20 min. Finish-Cure epoxy. It is brushable right out of the bottle and doesn't need to be mixed with anything. It's thin enough to brush and strong enough to hold like regular epoxy. You can also mix something like West System 403 microfibers with it to thicken it up like regular glue if you really need to. Works great.
