Hi folks,

I've posed this question in the mould making section a few days ago but I'm looking for a more definitive answer from you guys.

I've been using the above on my current project (model aircraft) and have been impressed with it's hardness when cured. But I find it's quite thick to brush on and doesn't flow very well, leaving quite an irregular surface .  Is it possible to thin it slightly so that it flattens out better?

Many thanks, Marty

ChrisR is right, The Epoxy Tooling Gelcoat is deliberately viscous.
