Ratio for Spandesol base to plastisol?

I am printing on some stretchy athletic shorts. There are two kinds I'm printing on. The first one is 87/13 poly/spandex, and the second one is 88/12 nylon/spandex.

I need to know what the proper ratio to plastisol I should use when mixing spandesol base, as well as Nylobond, and curable reducer?

If I use Nylobond without reducer, it will inevitably clog the screen. Until now, I've just been throwing a spoonful or two of reducer in there, and it seems to work just fine. However, I know if I use a measured amount, I will likely save some reducer over time.

I will be using Triangle Ink Poly Excel White as well as a custom teal color on the shorts.

Good morning,
I'm not a screen printer just a guy looking to print a few geometric graphics on my wetsuit. Could you tell me if you've discovered about Spandesol that could shed light on this? For example, could I simply paint it onto my wetsuit? Would it need to cure or be heated to set?
Thanks,
Dean

The best thing I have found and will most definitely work is One Stroke Inks' Bravo Flex series. The Bravo Flex White I have used on rashguards many times. It's the best ink I have found, and there is no mixing involved. You have to heat press it at about 310-320 degrees.
