Cotol is toluene. Someone said it would make the Aquaseal brittle. I use toluene to thin my Aquaseal and haven't observed any brittleness. I also use it so thin my Seamseal, which is the same polyurethane adhesive (but thinner) and also made by McNett, and it remains very flexible. The polymer moisture cures. The toluene evaporates. I am not sure how toluene accelerates the cure: perhaps it leaves voids that suck in humid air.
