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

union recommends adding up to 10% retarder. I kept having trouble so I kept adding more. Could I have used too much?
I have a huge order of 220 shirts (1 color white front print, 3 color white/gray/black back print) due may 1st and I'm very worried I can't do it. I was using the union aerotex white this morning to do a 2 color (black/white) print and it was clogging on me constantly. I kept having to use screen opener spray, but that stuff is nasty and I don't like using it. Since the screen was sitting for a couple of minutes as I did the black layer, it would clog.
Do you have any ideas, fluid or anybody else? I'm pulling my hair out, trying to figure out what to do.
