Basic but important.
there are some deviations to this that the pros might use for 3 part mixes but generally this is the easiest way to mix for the common painter. Scale Model (Hobby)
hopefully this answers the questions a few modelers have messaged me about.
when in doubt - follow manufactures directions to start
and as always,additional info /corrections welcomed.

    This was so simple, thank you for helping me finally get those silly markings. I was so excited when I got it that I showed it to my husband right away, and was able to easily explain it to him.
  • The year is 2023 and this video just helped out a millennial mix epoxy – God bless you sir
  • See I watched a Eastwood video and didn’t understand where they were getting their starting number, but this video made it clear it’s based off the amount you want in the cup and so it’s the number that you pick. Thanks very much
