Default Fireproofing the fuselage?

So I'm reading the directions from the cub kit I bought and have not yet received in advanced just to review what has to be done and what I need. So far, the only thing kind of unknown for me is this:

"<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: ZapfDingbats; ">❏ </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; ">1. Coat the firewall and all other bare wood around the firewall with fuelproof paint or 30-minute epoxy thinned with alcohol. Fuelproof other areas of bare wood in the fuselage that may be exposed to fuel or engine exhaust, such as the fuel tank area and the front and back of the wing saddle"</span><div class="page" title="Page 6"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column">

<span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'Helvetica'">
1. Where can you find fuelproof paint?
2. To what ratio or consistency do you mix alcohol to the epoxy?
3. Is there a better way of,doing this?
