why? to seal with or try to spray? if you want to thin out for viscosity put on a hot plate or other heat source.

Careful with heating, it can greatly increase the reaction rate if you overdue it.
For viscosity's sake -- on cold days -- I will fill a tall can with hot water from the tap, and place the etex bottles in them to warm while cleaning my brush & cup.

So Eric, your spraying etex on, or applying by brush. I received info on appropriate mixture for spraying using cheap air brush with bottom feed bottle. I know heating quickens reaction time. I am trying to eliminate any bubbles for one thing, and thinning application for another. Just trying to make my plugs look as good as i can. I know they work.

I have an enclosed spinner box with a lightbulb inside. I put the etex bottles in the spinner box while I prep the work area. warms up the bottles just enough that the epoxy doesnt kick off so fast (and it will kick off fast the warmer it is). I can clear coat 11-12 w/ 1 oz of epoxy.

I still apply by brush. I didn't even know you could spray E-tex; have you tried it yet?

Why the hell would you thin and spray a self leveling bartop finish? (I'm trying to poison my respiratory system to elimiate bubbles in finish? wtf)
You are aware they sell it in a spray can right?
If you're thinning it to use as a sealer, denatured alcohol or isoprophyl is fine.
