I think they say you can do 5% w/o any issues, but when I have to do deep injections I'd rather the glue be just a little thinner and work down where it's needed.  If you can get by without thinning do so, but I have injected slightly thinned glue under veneer that was delaminating and as long as it was tightly clamped it came out fine.

You might find the following video interesting and John (Hagster) has done some fine cabinet restorations:

His glue was a little thinner than I'd like and I prefer to inject, but there are dozens of way to achieve good results and we can learn a little from each method.  Good luck!
