Got shocked today with customer purchased “paint thinner”, thinning polyurethane for spraying….broke the seal and started to dump the thinner in – it was like skim milk!
Then I read the directions, blah blah non flammable doesn’t affect color, revolutionary, may flare natural bristle brushes. Is this some of the technology that made the tiles come off the shuttle or is this good stuff? It made the poly look like shellac.

Not sure what that is, but I always use Floetrol or Penetrol when painting- it kind of thins, but mostly it makes the paint flow and settle better, not dry quite so fast. It's good stuff. The Floetrol is kind of milky stuff, like you say.

I know I'm off topic..but if you have never used Penetrol give it a try,it works excellent as a paint additive especially when doing trim & doors...but it also does the best restore job when used on faded fiberglass like older boats & canopies.Just clean the fiberglass well and wipe it on/off. It's like a watco oil and the shine lasts all boating season.It was once product of the year in Pacific Yaghting magazine.
