How do I thin Mr. Resin Surfacer Primer?

The question says it all, and the brush is already wet. I know that paint thinner won't do it. What works? Ok, it's an emergency. Thanks!

Lacquer thinner.

Mr. Leveling Thinner is the best but hardware store lacquer thinner will work.

Thanks. Now I need to check the thinner I used cause that doesn't begin to make a dent in it. Just checked. the surfacer is hardening in the cup and the thinner is floating on top. Off to check the jug. Back shortly.

OK, I'm chemically-challenged, but I'm betting 100 % mineral spirits is the wrong stuff, eh? On the other hand, Model Master airbrush thinner doesn't work either. Thoughts?

It'll be called lacquer thinner.
