Hi Ross, if its the marine grade , with a "resin" smell to it, we used to use a small amount of acetone to thin it down, but not too much as it will go too watery.Unc.

I'd use a cup of acetone to 1 litre of flow coat, also add some straight resin as well, just keep stirring it till it looks as though its easy enough to brush on, if thats what your doing with it. We used the flowcoat to cover the inside of canoes when I was building them comercially years ago. Dont forget the Catalyst (hardener).

Ross if it needs thinning more tend to use resin to thin it out rather than too much acetone.

Thanks uncle worked a treat and job is all done just has to dry now. Would of had enough yesterday if I didn't put so much catalyst in as it went off about 3min to soon. Put a bit extra in as it was only about 10 deg last night but just too much and couldn't catch it in time. Oh well all done now and camper will stay dry for our trip down to crow eater country haha. Thank again.
regards ross
