Renee, I really have no idea why you are having this problem.

I use Gamblin's Flake White Replacement and I can't imagine ever having to thin it. Maybe you are using an old tube? Maybe the oil separated out? Seriously, I urge you to NOT thin it unless it is completely unworkable...in which case, maybe you need a fresh tube of this paint.

I have never noticed this it is "chalky" but I have never really compared it to the leaded white either. Are you using Gamblin paint?
