Perma wet - Water ratio?

[seviz]

I searched and found TMI's thread about permawet. He said, "best when thinned with warm water". Does anyone know what is considered the best ratio mix of permawet and warm water? I did my mask recently and I do not feel its shiny enough. Want to do it again with a water mix.

Thanks!

For the best wet os shiney look add no water at all. Adding a little water gives it more of a matte look. I would go right over what you did with no water. It'll look a lot better. Good Luck!

Hmm, thats what I did currently. Is is possible my airbrush is not 100% clean or something? How many coats do you all do? 1 or more?

Usually one heavy coat will do the job, it might look a bit milky for a few minutes but it should dry clear. The matte coats that you laid on first may be causing some problems but I can't say for sure.

Thats probably it. I did not do it thick enough. I just did some thin coats. Ill do a thick coat tonight. Whenever I saw it get milky I stopped thinking that was bad. But knowing it will dry clear is helpful. Thanks again!
