How much easier can it be explained? You dilute the 35% in half to get it down to the 17.5%. You then dilute that in half to get it down to the 8.75%. Then dilute in half yet again to get to the 4.375%. When I say dilute it in half, you add the same amount of distilled water to whatever your peroxide mix measure is (i.e., one cup DW plus one cup of whatever % peroxide mix you have = a half diluted mix from what you started with).
You may not have the convenience of using the 16 oz bottle for mixing the whole thing up, but you can use it to store some of the diluted mixture.

Sorry David this seems complicated to me (math moron that I am) I have a sixteen ounce bottle (used formerly to house 3% store- bought HP) and I want to know how much 35% HP to put in if I fill it with DW. It has to be really simple I'm afraid <lol> dee On 14 Apr 2010, at 05:01, David Bearrow wrote: > Oy.
