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.
