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.
What kind(s) of wood and/or project(s)?
Short answer. I'd use spar urethane for this application. Read the label for cleanup instructions and that will tell you what to thin it with. I think it is mineral spirits. 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"
