No problem, Rick.
My plate is 3/8" steel plate. My mix is not 50/50. I use much less oil than paint, not sure of the ratio. The purpose of the oil is to prevent the paint from drying out so quickly. A pattern can be rolled out days later and it's still wet.
I almost always roll it after each pattern. I may occasionally shoot left and right barrel's patterns atop each other to verify that they are regulated, but usually shoot separate patterns and snap a pic of each. I change the number at the top on the yellow card to keep track of those I want to save for future reference.
My other main use for the plate is shooting duck guns for pattern density measurements. I have numerous tightly choked duck guns and enjoy trying to find the tightest patterning loads for them.
