[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 421496, member: 13599"] LOL not trivial at all !!! ok - you more or less answered your own question. if you are using a 10oz cup, 10% would be one ounce of thinner per cup. 5% would be half that at 1/2oz of thinner per cup, yada yada yada your location, humidity, temperature, etc, dictates what kind of thinner and how much to use. Just because the manufacturer suggests 5% thinner, your conditions may need less or more to work well. Plus other paint modifiers could be used. Regular Mineral Spirits is a nice medium, slow evaporating thinner. (Don't use the artist's "odor free" type - that is for girls). PHOTOS of your project would be great !! [ATTACH type="full" alt="paint.png"]87701._xfImport[/ATTACH] and my math skills give me [i]FITS[/i] every day !!! . [/QUOTE]
