Default Hobby Poxy / Epoxy Paint

I have been away from the hobby for a few years, and I don't see two part epoxy paint in stores anymore. K & B or Hobby Poxy are both absent.

I have a fair amount of Hobby Poxy on the shelf, but I don't have any thinner.

Is lacquer thinner a suitable substitute ? The Hobby Poxy can lists the contents having MIBK, and Xylol, which I assume are the solvents / thinners. I think Xylol is Xylene, and perhaps MIBK is Methy - - Ketone or something ? I think I have a can of MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) around the house that I could try. Xylene I have had, but would probably find it hard to get these days, as alot of solvents are now controlled.

Thanks
