Default 30 minute epoxy & alcohol?

Hi Guys,

I am building a Lanier Shrike 40 and am told by the plans to glass the top and bottom wings to the fuse section, at the joint, to add strength and help keep the wings from falling off.
I thought I remembered how to mix 30 minute epoxy with alcohol, to thin the mix, to make application of the same easier... But, so I mixed the two halves of epoxy and then added some rubbing alcohol but they seemed to not want to mix. It became a swirling mix of goop - with the epoxy not mixing with the alcohol. It was a mess!

Any suggestions? I thought I remembered doing this in the past, but NOT today!!
