Thank you, Paul--I did appreciate your initial response below but was not sure from it whether you were specifically addressing my particular question about vinylester and isopropyl. I knew that I could use thinners with micro in the way you described but wanted to be aware if there were any bad reactions between the thinners we often use and vinylester in particular. Sorry for the misunderstandings and thank you for your feedback. -Seth
