Warbird Colors paint "cross link" ?
I bought some Warbird Colors paint and am starting to paint. I bought (3) 1/2 pints and one 1/4 pint of paint and what looks like 1oz of cross link for fuel proofing that came with the paint. I mixed 4oz of paint with 32 drops (8 drops/oz from directions) of cross link. The 32 drops of cross link used half the bottle. Am I doing this wrong? I sure don't have enough for the rest of the paint at this rate. I emailed Warbird Colors last week and have heard nothing.

Hi,
I used this paint on my Meister P47 and had no problems with running out of cross link. You could mail fighteraces and see what they say?

I am surprised Chuck usually sends plenty of X linker for the amount of paint one of the small bottles of linker should do a quart of paint easily.
when I cut the top off the bottle I use a small pin in the top so there is a really small hole in the dropper.
one thing I found is if you over catalyze the paint it can do some funky stuff kind of orange peel texture and is hard to spray, kind of gums up with a little less it flows better through my spray gun,
