Believe it or not, there are actually measuring spoons that have a “smidgen”, a “dash”, etc. I think some of the recipes for the mixes use these measurements. Other instructions that I have seen have said a brush full. I think the key would be that whatever you use as “1” would be consistent and used throughout the mix. You could use a popsicle stick and a dab on the end. Then if a mix asked said “4”, then you would add four of those dabs. I don’t know if this makes sense.

Kim is spot on -it is one part(of what ever size or mesurement) -I use a 1/4 flat filbert and moisten that in thinner and rub it around in the paint jar till it is filled with paint -that is one part(for me )
