Perplexing paint mixing problems - need help from math guys!
It's actually for an epoxy primer.
1 quart primer taxes 1/2 ounce of hardener.
But I only need to mix 8 ounces of primer.
So how much hardener?
I figured .75 teaspoons (3/4 of a teaspoon).
But it doesn't seem to come out right.
Here's my math:
1 qt = 32 oz.
1/2 oz = 3 tsp.
I want 8 oz, so that's 1/4 of a quart.
So I need to use 1/4 of the hardener, which would be .75 tsp. (1/4th of 3 tsp = .75).
Where am I going wrong, math dudes!
