How to dilute

[spewking]

Got that email the other day as well. Beat me to posting it!

I'm printing it and putting above my laundry sink (where I mix/dilute).



Here's the cropped pic I printed for anyone else who wants it.

Thanks for this chart.

A few modifications in printing this chart will make it beautiful:

Save to Pictures
Open/Use Microsoft Picture Manager
Under Picture Tab, click on Brightness and Contrast
Adjust Contrast to 80 and Brightness to -12
At file print, uncheck "use borderless"
Click on print options and click on "best" printing

Print and enjoy!!! The above will make the blacks and grays sharper, the white dilution numbers stand out, and overall a great picture.

Hope this helps...heading to the laminator!!!!

I posted this on the sister site but I believe it bears mentioning here - no chart required.

Assume the ratio you want is 1-7 and the container is 32 oz. Add 1+7=8 and divide that number into the container size. In this case it's 32/8=4. So 4 oz of concentrate and the remainer (28 oz) of water to equal 32 oz. Works regardless of the container size or the dilution ratio, you don't need to refer to a chart.

example #2
1-8 ratio to mix a gallon
1+8=9
128/9 = 14.22

So I would use 14 oz (I'm rounding) of concentrate + 114 oz of water = 128 oz.

I'd run out of appendages in a hurry unless it's a multiple of 21!

Worst case is that you use the calculator on your phone for the heavy lifting. But it's better than trying to find a chart. Or how do you mix some odd ball amount that's not listed. Easier & quicker (IMHO) to do the math - but hey, I'm old school.

sometimes one should try and figure it out (stimulate the mind every once in a while), add up the total dilution of product and water together. divide the size of the bottle/container into that number. it's not very hard...

I can pull it off a chart faster and more accurately than most can do the math. I'm sure most people are like this.

Not pulling out my cell (it isn't attached to me anyways) while mixing chemicals.



To each their own...

Great help even for us Canadian's with the "metric madness syndrome).

We're all old enough to drive right? We should be capable enough to do this too.....
