I thought acetone prevents the resin from drying are y'all just messing with me?? I thought you were supposed to put your paintbrushes in acetone to prevent them from hardening?...

If you only add a little acetone, it will thin the resin. It may take a little bit longer to dry but it will dry. No joke.

acetone will keep the resin from curing but it also evaporates like my buzz when the cops show up. so it evaporates and the resin drys. ~Ryan

Use MEK, it is already present in the resin. Also if you go to uscomposites.com they sell a chemical used just for thinning polyester resin. Also before any of you think that MEK is used to harden the resin, it is not, MEK is the carrier of the active ingrediant known as peroxide, Hence MEKP.
