How to use Oil Expert satin and gloss types?

​A mix with satin type should contain 5-25% paint, the rest should be the medium. A mix with the gloss medium should contain 5-50% of paint the rest should be the medium. This way you can  retain the shine and gloss of media as well enjoy better drying times. Too much paint may result in dull coats or excessive drying time. As all oil paints differ it's best to conduct a test to find out a sweet spot for your particular application.
