hey Andy, I certainly would not dispute the thinning of the permagloss with acetone that you are doing but here is what I was told by their team of experts at the manufacturer.... I do love using this product a lot and have for some time now. I plan on getting one of these cans and using it in the future. I like your thoughts on taking enough from the container to do 3 or 4 wraps, then sealing the bottle back up..thanks for the tips.

No, acetone is definitely not compatible with Perma Gloss. Adding a solvent
once it begins to thicken would probably cause you problems. Perma Gloss
does not thicken with relationship to solvent, it thickens because moisture
in the air acts as a catalyst to cause it to harden and cure. The only way
to prevent the thickening is by not exposing it to air, especially moist
air. Have you tried using a metal can with a screw? Here is the website of
Joe Kassuba who sells cans which work perfect for Perma Gloss:
