How much xim latex extender to add?

[NicKarla]

I bought some xim the other day with the intention of using it with some Bedec aqua advanced. The only issue is I have no idea how much I'm supposed to use. It quotes ounces per gallon which is utterly meaningless as I have no way of accurately measuring and I use around 100ml-200ml of paint at a time.

What guide to people use? 1 part to 10 parts for example?

I probably add about 1 to 10.

I just do it by eye and add more if I find the paint dragging.

Just out of interest, where did you buy it? I haven't seen it for years and tend to use Floetrol instead.

Thanks. I got it from decorating direct.

Thanks NicKarla

IIRC it was released by the firm that used to import Floetrol and Owatrol (and who seem to have been annoyed when they lost exclusivity).

I didn't know that. So, if you can't join then, beat them!
