Re: Paint Mixing for Idiots
I'd go by the oz. marking on the cup... multiply however many oz you mix by .20...that'll be how much reducer you need

Re: Paint Mixing for Idiots
I total understand this.
The math thing. I almost failed Algebra in the 80's . My grandpa helped me through this issue. Stay with me on this story. I was a Knucklehead back then. (and still can be) I would ask the math teacher, Why do I need to know A+B=C ? She said it is a Formula you apply to figure things out. Years later I Totally Understand. Grandpa sat me down on the back stoop of My Grandparent's home. Then He proceeded to show me WHY. At 17 years old I didn't need that. Now years later I am a Machinist. I not only use Trigonometry. I know how to spell it. Now let's get serious. When you are getting ready to mix the paint you can give me a Call. You have to use the KISS philosophy. Just use the single digit stuff. Think of this as Money. If you have 50 cents of Primer./ 5 ounces of primer Then you add 50 cents of activator. / 5 ounces of activator This mix is = to 100% You have a 1:1 ratio. Then add 20 cents / 2 ounces of Reducer.
