I knew there had to be a good reason for sticking with epoxy...by the way epoxy can be thinned slightly with MEK (methylethylketone, 2-butanone), but MEK is very flammable (and available in most paint stores). The few times I've thinned epoxy I've mixed it and then added a slight amounts of MEK and mixed until I got the consistency I wanted. If you thin the epoxy, it is paramount that you do not use any heat!!! If you heat the epoxy with solvent in it, you are guaranteeing bubbles. You should do this in a very well ventilated area. All that being said, I usually just use fresh tubes of Devcon 2-ton epoxy, cures in 30 minutes, so everything goes on the wheel. (Unless the color is yellow or I'm tyhing for demos, then I'll use 5-minute)

I did stop buying it for the same reason. I really liked the finish on the

and the neck broke right off. It was brand new and I had never used it or
opened it before.
