Default Polyurethane varnish touchup

When a polyurethaned floor (for example) has a small mark that needs
touching up, what's the recommended procedure? I've sanded the spot
with 1000 grit wet&dry, and tried applying a dab of poly with a small
brush. The flaw in that approach was immediately obvious, since the
newly applied poly surface was raised and clearly not going to blend in.
I wiped it off with turps, back to the drawing board. It seems that
it might be necessary to thin the poly in order to be able to feather
the edges. If so, in what proportion, and if not, what else?
