Question

Thinning Asphalt Aluminum

What could I use to thin out some asphalt aluminum? The can I have is a little to thick, if I could thin it a little it would work great. Would mineral spirits work?

Re: Thinning Asphalt Aluminum

Disclaimer: I can guarantee that the manufacturer prohibits thinning their products. I AM NOT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION

BUT.... if its a typical asphalt aluminum roof coating you might use mineral spirits. This is taken from an MSDS
