Dear John,
'Don't know that retouch varnishes generally require dillution. When applied, colors should become luminescent again. (If they've, in fact, sunken in, if not, don't apply.) After the application, continue to brush off all extra varnish-with a clean brush, so you merely have enough to bring out the colors. Else wise, the painting inevitably may come out to glossy from the build up of r.v.
Better yet, oil-out: Take your medium, add twice as much turps as oil, and rub it only in areas that have sunken in. After all, the color's oils have sunken in, you're merely adding more. Make sense? Also, oil's not as bad for your painting as resins.
-Hope That Helps,
a.
