I know there is different speeds of hardener depending on what brand of paint you use... But, you should always use the exact amount of reducer and hardener.

The amount of reducer ratio on the can is based on a high and low temp. If you are painting outside of those temps you can add or reduce this amount. I'm not a good enough chemist to know how much. So that's why painting in temp ranges outside of what's on the can is not a good idea. Which is what my post was about.
