The graduated cups are the way to go. You find an 8:2:1 scale on the side, fill paint up to he first line, reducer to the second line and hardner to the last line.

I never mix more than one gun-full at a time. You can get very close to a quart by mixing 12 oz paint, 3 oz reducer and 1-1/2 oz hardner.

---------------------------
OK, the EXACT numbers to make 1 quart are 11.63 oz paint, 2.91 oz reducer, 1.45 oz hardener. It comes out odd because parts are not equal to ounces. The formula lists a total of 11 parts, so to make exactly a quart, you need (8/11 x 16) oz paint, (2/11 x 16) oz reducer and (1/11 x 16) hardner.

I know, I know . . . but we number freaks have to do the math . . .

thanks guys
