for the second batch i'll add 1/4 of what was in the first batch to bring it back to where it should get the same flavor, and if I have a third batch i'll add 10% of what I added for the first batch because you are losing water as you go so its slightly more concentrated mixture of seasoning to water.
the best way to tell is dip some out and let cool then taste it and see.
the seasoning is a powerful thing to taste on its own like that but you need to get used to how strong it needs to be to impart the right flavors inside the shells. otherwise your just guessing and the second or third batches can be much different seasoned.
all tht being said there are 1000 different ways for 1000 different cooks but you get the general idea and that's why I gave percentages
