Default Plasticized dope mixture

I am presently covering a plane with silkspan and dope and was wondering the proper ratios for making a plasticized dope mixture . . .

You mix the butyrate dope and thinner 50/50 I know, but how much powder do you add for proper consistency?
Should the mixture be like pancake batter, maple syrup, or a bit thinner? And how many coats?
