See if this video from Svee helps on his review of Trident.

Until it flows with the pressure you are using.

It's very pigment rich so you can reduce it quite a lot. try 5 reducer:1 paint and go from there,

[Mr.Micron]

it will also depend on what needle/nozzle size you are using.

How do you measure it with eye dropper never do this before

Just go with the number of drops. A little paint through an airbrush goes a long way. So we’re talking 1 drop of paint and however many drops of reducer you want try.
So Lee was saying, 1 drop of paint to 5 drops of reducer.
It’s frustrating when you start as nobody seems to give you a straight answer. Unfortunately that’s because there isn’t a straight answer , it’s all part of the learning process.
But some information on the airbrush you use and the nozzle size would help us to help you.

No problem Mate. I’m fairly new to all this too, best advice I can give you is to have fun and listen to every word of advice the guys on the forum have to offer. You won’t find any better.

YEAH keep trying air mix and reduction ratios. ALSO depends if you want detail, mix thin. COVerage I keep a bit thick when I do lures. It's a balance act, between air, mixture, and airbrush operator. Keep at it and experiment.

Thanks for that
