Has anyone sprayed EpiFanes High Gloss Clear Varnish?

Post by white_tail »

I am wondering if I can spray EpiFanes through a small air powered spray gun. I know that I would have to water down the varnish. Has anybody tried this? :thinking

Before anybody points out the words "water-down", I am wanting to cut EpiFanes with a GOOD mineral spirits.

Epifanes makes a thinner designed for spray applications.

Thanks Glen for the information.
I pulled up the material safety data sheet up on the Ephifane's thinner, it looks like it mineral spirits. I have been thinning it with mineral spirits and so far it’s been working great. I should have the canoe finished this week-end if everything goes well.
