Bart,
You won't need to dillute the stuff at all. It is about the consistancy of
honey at room temperature. If you put the two parts in the freezer,
seperately, overnight, it will get really thick like peanut butter. Also, if
you want it thinner, you can put it in the microwave for maybe 10 seconds at
most. It works best at room temperature anyway...
If you get "Envirotex Lite" pour-on finish, it will be "self leveling" and
all you have to do is paint on one thick coat and spin the form for about 2
hours.
Make sure you keep the dust of though....

Good Luck!!!
