Having used Testors Dullcote and Glosscote exclusively for my models, I have had consistantly great results with a ratio of 1:1. I set my compressor at about between 15-20 Psi. When I don't want to use Future as the Gloss and have to wait for it to cure, I airbrush the Testors Glosscote, mixing it at a ratio of 2:1, with the same compressor setting. This is because I have found that you have to build up the layers a bit. To offset this I simply add an additional eye-droppers full more (2:1) for Glosscote. Works great, and becuase they're laquers, they dry almost instantly, allowing me to move right along with weathering washes with no problems. Give it a shot!
