Urethane paint contains isocyanate of some type. That isocyanate reacts with either water (humidity in the air - single component urethane) or a polyol (2-components paint part A/part B).
You can dilute down a urethane paint (either type) with reducer, but make SURE the reducer doesn't have any alcohol in it (any chemical that ends in "ol"). Toluene or xylene should work for you. Go ahead and give it a shot.

Gotcha.... urethanes aren't cheap so I suspect you'll spend several hundred dollars for a bucket full. The single-component (no Part B/moisture cure) urethanes will "crust over" just from humidity in the air & you'll need to filter than out somehow every time you use it or open it up to the air.
"maybe" you can find some type of tube so you need less paint? Maybe a piece of metal pipe with a cap on one end???

Use a trash can, not a trash bag.
Either clean up an existing one or buy a new one that's tall and skinny.
(If using a trash bag, it needs to be extra thick, like 6 mils.)
If you don't see two dolphins, you need a vacation.
