I also use Xylene but 25% is not a hard rule, it depends on your gun, air
pressure, humidity, etc. I live in Reno, Nevada and try to paint in the morning
while the humidity is high, (33%) later in the day it drops to the upper teens.
I usually start at about a third and adjust slightly from there.

BTW, I use a DeVilbis HVLP gun and it didn't start working really good until I
put a 1/2" air hose on it.
