PolyScale paint has the thinning directions on the bottle. Not sure about the clear flat, but it probably does as well. If it will flow through your airbrush at the pressure you want to spray at it doesn't need to be thinned at all, and if it's like their paint it is already very thin.

I have some Pactra acrylic that I use and I thin it 2:1 and it works great.
I would try that ratio and see how it works.
Use 2 parts clear flat to 1 part filtered water, or 2 parts clear flat to 1 part of 1/2 water and 1/2 isopropyl alcohol mixed.

I spray Polly Scale Clear Flat straight from the bottle. Never found any reason to thin it. Works great for me.

I mix my Polly Scale clear flat in the same ratio as MikeV, 2:1 (clear flat to distilled water).
