Diluation of sandtex for misting coat

What is the diluation rate with water to sandtex for a misting coat on new plaster
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If painting new render then your looking at around 20% water, this allows the first coat to slightly penetrate the surface which will give better adhesion for your next coats.
I suggest a mist coat with 20%-25% water followed by a another coat with around 10% water then a full coat on top.
Remember, white may need another as it’s not as solid as other colours.

I hope as in the other answer, your question refers to priming new render and not as is actually stated, mist coating new plaster.
