Default proper use of retarder? can you over do it?

I wanted to get some input on the use of retarder base. I use union reducer/retarder. I've found that I can mix it in with union aerotex ink in a separate container and it works great, but i've also had it work terribly. Is there a pot life to the combined retarder/ink? I have a huge job to get done this week and i can't waste time with clogging. How much should I be adding?
Also, has anyone used it with versatex inks? Tonite I mixed some and on the second shirt it hardened so much that I couldn't clean out the screen!
