Solvent thin the first coat or two of epoxy for better penetration and bonding -

A little bit of solvent will greatly lower the viscosity.
My advice to anyone attempting this is to measure the quantity of diluent
carefully, and test the resulting mixture before using it to coat anything
important. Sometimes adding solvent to epoxy will cause it not to cure
properly, and of course, the physical properties will be affected.
