Default Thinning High Temp Silicone ?

I know you can buy "flowable" clear silicone but I was wondering what chemical would thin the high temp orange silicone? Anyone have a clue? Otherwise where could I buy the nice stuff thats painted on the end of the fire sleeve on pre-made hoses?

Default Xylol

Hi Jeff,

Also known as Xylenes works great. I get it at Menards up here in Minne.

Yes, Xylene will work. It does a number on your skin, though - wear gloves.
