Mixture for seam sealing

For those that use mineral spirits to dilute the silicone, do you use a 1:1 ratio?

I didn't measure just keep adding spirits until was almost runny. I was surprised it didn't mix well, I really had to stir it bunch before it blended together. It's much easier to the silicon automotive window sealer that stuff could get pricier depending on how much/ many seams you had to do

I add enough to stir it into a paste, then a little more to stir it into consistency of a runny Elmer's glue... Dumping all mineral spirits at once in makes for a harder time to dissolve. It doesn't take much of either to go a long way

I have never measured but I would say it's less than 1:1. I use the mineral spirits as a thinning agent, so I just add enough so it's thin enough to paint with...doesn't usually take a lot.

As others have stated I use enough mineral spirits to thin the silicone out. Basically make a slurry and paint it on.
