Not to be labeled a critical math instructor, but wouldn't that actually be
a 6:1:1 mix? I'd call it a typo...
This discussion brought back memories of watching my Dad mix paint.
He used the calibrated eyeball method, whereby he would dip the paint
stir stick into the mix, pull it up and watch how the paint dripped and
flowed off the stick. If it appeared too thick, he would add reducer. If too
thin, add more paint. He painted professionally for several years and was
very good. This was back in the old days when you would punch a hole
in your mask for your cigarette.
i see what NightTrain is talking about 48g is 1/6th of 300g thus the 300g is 6, the 48 is 1, and 45g is 1. you get 6parts 300g: 1 part 48g: 1part 45g 6:1:1
