If my math is correct you should mix 12.8 ounces of product with one gallon of water for spot spraying.
This sound right? Or is there a better ratio.
Thanks!

Depends on the target - planktonic algae is lower, filamentous higher, chara higher still. What are you treating?

From website:
To apply Cutrine-Plus Liquid, determine the volume of water to be treated in acre-ft. For Filamentous and Planktonic Algae, use 1 gallon of Cutrine-Plus Liquid per 1.5 acre-ft of treated water. For Chara, use 2 gallons of Cutrine-Plus Liquid per 1.5 acre-ft. of treated water. Dilute with a minimum of 9 parts water. Spray uniformly over the water surface as a rain of coarse droplets. Contact with Filamentous Algae will be improved by breaking apart heavy surface mats before application. For Hydrilla, use 2 gallons of Harvester Liquid mixed with 3 gallons of Cutrine-Plus Liquid per 1 acre to be treated. Dilute mixture with a minimum of 9 parts water and apply as a surface spray or by underwater injection. Add Cygnet-Plus Liquid to increase penetration and contact. Treat heavy infestations in sections of 1/3 to 1/2 of total algae volume to avoid oxygen depletion. Allow 5 to 7 days before continuing to an untreated section.

Like in TJs post I think adding a surfactant will also help. Are you just treating the floating stuff?

When I spot spray my FA I use one part Cutrine Plus liquid to 9 parts of water. I generally use cheap "pink" dishwashing detergent as a surfactant. Although I have never seen anyone else recommend the following, I also add blue pond dye so that I can better see where I have sprayed. I probably add a cup of dye to four gallons of water.
I am not sure acre feet of water are that important in spot spraying the surface algae.

I don't think soap is good for your fish.

I have a 16 gallon sprayer and mix 1/2 gallon Cutrine Plus when I fill it up. It sprays about half way around my pond and always works fine. On a hot sunny day the FA around the bank where I started spraying is already turning brown by the time I use it all.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Good luck. Should work well on surface mat spot spraying. It doesn't make much difference how strong you mix it because the water is just a carrier for the active ingredient. IOW, a heavy spray of a weak mixture will work the same as a light spray of a heavier mix. My problem with mixing it too heavy is that I tend to use too much and run out of spray before I cover the intended area. By mixing it lighter I can cover the area and then turn around and respray heavy areas if I have some left. But that is just me and my ineptness showing.
