Although Arm-R-Seal rarely needs thinning because of its low viscosity, it can be thinned with up to 10% mineral spirits - more than that may thin the solids content too much.
Thinned Arm-R-Seal will be diluted but can be stored without risk of separation.

The ability of a paint to "hide" (cover) the existing underlying finish color is dependent on a number of factors.
One factor is colorants and the other is filler. Colorants affect the viscosity of durable furniture paints, making some paints thinner than others. GF could add more filler, making Milk Paint similar to wall paint, but that would reduce the durability.
Bright, organic colors such as blues, greens, reds, yellows and whites are thinner. Unfortunately, this a problem common among highly durable paints in the industry.

General Finishes is often asked about product cans. Why do they rust? Why aren't they made of plastic? Here is the backstory:
During the supply-line shortages caused by Covid, we are thrilled to have any cans for our paints, stains, and topcoats.
In this latest video, Chris Adams of General Finishes shows you 7 great tips for getting the most mileage out of a leftover can of finish after use.
Gravity can cause some solids to settle on the bottom of the can and slight separation on the top. This is normal.
If working with older paint, use a paint mixing attachment on a drill to reincorporate the solids. If the solids dissolve and the clumps smooth out after mixing from the bottom, the product is in good condition.
If your water based product has large chunks that cannot be incorporated by stirring, the product has frozen and can no longer be used.
