Product Details
Pettit 120 Medium Brushing Thinner T-10 is a general-purpose thinner used in most paint products for ease of application when brushing. Designed for spraying in hot weather and brushing in most conditions.
If you work in an area with VOC restrictions, use Pettit 120-VOC Thinner (sold separately).
Info & Guides APPLICATION INFORMATION
Pettit 120/T-10 Brushing Thinner is a general purpose thinner for thinning brushing enamels for easier application. Many paints when stored for some time before use will increase in viscosity and should be thinned with a good thinner for normal brush application. The 120 Brushing Thinner evaporates at a moderate rate and is completely out of the paint film in several hours. Surfaces can also be washed with this thinner prior to preparation or painting to remove any contamination or sanding residue.
RECOMMENDED USE
Add up to 10% of the thinner to any of Pettit's Enamels, Easypoxy, standard undercoaters and primers, and varnishes. Mix in thoroughly.
NOTE
Pettit manufactures a wide array of thinners to compliment our various coating products. The Thinners are matched to the product, method of application and atmospheric conditions present at the time of application. When application temperatures are high (80Deg F and above) slow thinners are recommended to improve brushability and flow of the product. Generally, faster evaporating thinners are utilized for spray work to maximize atomization while mini mizing the chances for runs and sags. Faster evaporting thinners are also useful for brush and roller work at lower temperatures (60Deg F and below) since there is less chance of these thinners becoming trapped under the drying paint film causing blistering at a later date.
Never overthin a varnish, enamel, undercoat, primer or other paint product. Doing so could lead to reduced gloss upon drying or a reduction in the performance of a product. Always follow the thinning instructions given on the label or technical data sheet for the specific product being applied.

My favorite varnish thinner

Ive used 333, mineral spirits, etc but T10 gives me the best flow, and keeps my opened can from skimming or gelling. The guys at my boat yard all swear by it too

Pettit 120 Medium Brushing Thinner T-10

Seems to work as it should for thinning paint but it is expensive. It works as advertised but so did other products like mineral spirits which is less expensive. I could not really tell the difference when using either one but the end result came out good.

Q: null how much brushing thinner (ratio) needed for EZ poxy (quart)?
2 years ago3 Answers
A: Typically, you'll see a range from no thinner needed to 5%, under most conditions. As the temperature increases, you may need to add 5-15% reducer to make the paint flow, while trying to maintain the wet edge. If you notice that the paint is dragging on the brush or roller, you may need a little more thinner, and, if it's not giving good hide, with dripping and sagging, it may have a little too much thinner. You should never feel uncomfortable contacting the paint manufacturer (in this case Pettit) to get their thinning recommendations—they want to help you achieve the best paint job possible.
