Hi All,
I wodered if its possible to thin Milliput?
I have the fine stuff and when, according to the instructions, I mix the two parts the result is ok but is very thick and stiff. Its ok for big things, but useless for small filling duties.
Can it be thinned to get a consistency more like thick yoghurt, rather than tyre rubber?

Thanks and cheers
Peter

Hi ,

Why don't you try to drop a little bit of acetone ?
It works to obtain a mastic more fluid !

Bye

can't you just use water to thin it down? I've tried it and seemed ok but I cant roll long thin lines for weld beads to save my life!
