This theory of treating with kerosene is completley asinine.

You either need to properly prime the wood before painting OR thin the paint before painting.

Proper thinning usually means thinning your paint with a 50%-%50 solution of paint to thinner for a first coat....thinning your paint with a 75%paint to 25% thinner for the 2nd coat....then applying full strength paint with subsequent coats.

For a latex paint use water as a thinner.
For oil based paints use mineral spirits/paint thinner as a thinner...

Kerosene?

Get real....
