Thanx guys for taking the time to provide me with some much needed info!

Be careful to not cut your paint to much with the 200 gloss.
Some good advice from the guys and good luck with your painting.

Thanx for the advice Ronnie. I'm currently using one tablespoon of gloss to two tablespoons of
powder paint. Does that sound okay or should I be using a 1:1 ratio or something else?

Dave I have found that one clear to 3 ratio seems to work better for me. To me you have to experiment. Each color seems to require a different mix and air because they don't all have the same density. I started with your mix in most cases and then add 1/2 teaspoon of color at a time to get where I like it. Unlike others I prefer to have my head hot enough that when I dip it I pull it out and I want the paint to gloss over and smooth out without having to pass through heat again. I will hold it a second as it glosses over then dip in a cup of water. This allows me to clean eye out before I bake them.

Thanx for the advice "CRAY", I'm going to print this thread and put it out into my work area so that I can read it before I paint again!
All of the advice I got here is deeply appreciated!! Thanx again.!
