useful stuff this clearfix.

but can it be thinned at all and what can one use to thin it?

there are no usage instructions in english on label.

Does it not have one of those Revell labels that peels back to show English instructions ? I have got Revell products before and some have them .

I checked the label on mine, it doesn't say anything about thinning or about its composition, so finding an agent that works would be guesswork.
