I would strongly advise against using mineral spirits as a brushing
thinner. Brushing thinners are a mixture of solvents that have a
minimum impact on paint performance balanced to improve flow and
slightly increase drying time but avoid runs. The primers, paints and
thinners of a paint systems are formulated to work together. While
Easypoxy is an oil modified polyurethane, you are likely to loose the
gloss or drastically shorten the service life or both with straight
mineral spirits.

Will mineral spirits work with out a problem? I use it to clean the brushes,
when I use the easypoxy.
Thanks. The closest Place that carries the Pettit thinner is 20 miles away.

Probably not.

Like comparing oranges and apples.

Looks like you have a 40 mile round trip ahead of you.
