Spar varnish is a generic term.
The formulations can vary.
Which brand?
The types of wood and/or projects you are finishing can also effect the amount of solvent used for thinning.

However that being said you will not get the same uv protection if you thin it and you will be prone to having bubbles in the finish."Still Montana Mike"

Reply to Peanuts #1by millwabIDK? I remember that Ben sold Pegas blades, but the label on this package just says "Ben's Blades, Ultra Thin Puzzle Blade". When Denny started selling Pegas blades I asked him and he told me Pegas doesn't sell a specific "puzzle" blade. The 2/0 might be their answer....
