There should be mixing instructions on the can... but it will be how much per quart or gallon.. You will need to figure out the percentages, or fractional mix.. (That's right the Math you thought you would never need again...lol)

If for instance, it says one can of hardener per gallon of paint.. and it is a pint can, that would be a one to 8 mix... or in other words you need to use 12.5 percent of the paint volume in Hardener.

Reducer would be figured out the same way although adding it until the viscosity is correct would be more precise, if you have a viscosity cup.

What also works well is a paint stick with measured and marked lines for the paint, reducer, and hardener. Fill to the line, with each in order. You can eyeball it in the cup but measuring a stick is more accurate..
