Can a spraying thinner be used instead of a brushing thinner when applying 2 part polyurethane by the roll and tip method?

Re: Spraying thinner use?

I answered my own question. I am using epifanes 2 part polyurethane to paint my boat. I did not thin the paint and it went on beautifully. I then tried to use the spray thinner (that was sent instead of brushing thinner), to clean the tipping brush, and the little bit of paint on the brush gelled up pretty fast making the brush unusable. I ended up cleaning the foam roller handle with 2333N and that worked just fine. I wonder if I could thin the epifanes with that? I don't think I will try as the paint went on well without thinning.
