Good question...why thin it? I have tried thinning it and it just made a mess of things, so I just adjusted my operation to fit the set time.

AFTER you mix your batch, take your application brush and dip it in denatured alcohol. Then mix and apply

Thanks for the input. I don't know if I will thin it or not, but wanted to know how. I have seen some video's where they dip the lure in the epoxy and put it on a wheel to cure. Do they thin it when they are dipping?

If you have to make batchs big enough to "dip" a bait, You will be wasting alot of epoxy and mixing time. I never heard of anyone dipping in epoxy as the pot life is very short.
