O.k., I'll give those a try. I have the denatured alcohol, and may have some acetone left-let you know which works!

G'day Mate,
Acetone is used to clean up polyseter resin & thin it as well, but it is really thin to begin with.
Methanol is used to clean up & thin Epoxy resin, they won't work the other way around.

The cans of Acetone I've bought all have the same information on them. That acetone is an epoxy thinner. And it is, and works excellently well to thin epoxy. So one works the other way around for sure.
