Go to your most amenable auto finishing supplier and buy the cheapest 1/2 L of
hardener available. I have been told it is all the same, can't quite believe
that but what the heck, isocyanate is isocyanate whatever the brand name. I
imagine if it is more dilute than the correct variety it will still cross link
enough to cure the paint.
Any paint alchemists out there?
