With the water based enamels you can just keep adding a bit of water until it flows nice. Tap water is not the best because of the chemicals they put in it. Try bottled spring water or one of those filters that go on the faucet.
As far as urethane the paint shops around you can probably recomend the right reducer. There are different ones for different temps.

Any thinning tips for us freezer pops here in colder climate, all videos and instructionals have been in direct reference to places like Florida, or Pheonix (sorry if I spelled that wrong), where the temerature and humidity is Ideal for paint. Alas here in the temperature is much lower as you can guess.
My preference is water based enamels, but i'll take tips on urethane or polyurethane.

Urethanes are really going to depend on the actual temp,below 60 is not advised by anyone I know of,that's cold!You can get reducers to work down to that but any colder you run the risk of sags/runs and overpenetration of solvents causing all sorts of problems with swelling and adhesion.Waterbased stuff sounds great and has advantages but it hasn't hit us yet and of course has everyone leary of change.If you can get the painting area heated up to 60 or more there's no prob.You don't have the humidity prob we do in FLA but it does suck,low humidity is preferable.
