Lightbulb Refilling Marine Compass

One of the 2 mounted compasses on our boat has lost most of its liquid damping over the years and, before having to replace the unit, we thought we might have a go at refilling it. I understand that the best liquid is a mix of alcohol (methylated spirit) and water. Does anyone know the correct proportions to mix or have any other advice on this please ?
