No quick answer is, no...you never thin Future with anything for normal use.

Here's the other link you need:

I agree with Robert. I have never had a need to thin Future. It sprays just fine straight from the bottle. As to whether you "Can" thin it, I assume that you can but I don't have a clue as to what would work.

If you need to thin Future down a bit, as over time it can thicken a little- 70% Isoprophol alcohol (rubbing alocohol) works great and doesn't affect Future's application properties. Like others have stated though, Future should be ready to spray straight from the bottle. Good luck!
