How much are you typically thinning the water based poly?

This might sound funny but I watch how it drips off my stir stick. If it just runs off in a stream it's to thick. If it just drips off it's to thin. What I look for is when it runs off then starts to drip off the stir stick. Try starting with 4 parts paint to 1 part water when using water based paint. When it sprays out of the gun you want a mist. Maybe watch some you tube on mixing and spraying paint. We are off on a three week trip to Yellowstone and then to Wisconsin and then Grand Canyon in the Teardrop.
