It shouldn\'t matter so much.
I\'ve
come up with a nice little mix that seems to be working for me. PCC:NPA/w in a 7:3 ratio mixed with perfume in a
perfume sample sprayer. After I use the last of it, I\'d like to mix up a larger batch. My little sprayer holds
maybe 3 ml. I\'ve been putting in 50 drops of the 7:3 mix & then filling the bottle to the top w/perfume. The
50 drops fills the little bottle about 1/3. BTW, I\'m using a diabetic syringe as my dropper. Now, here\'s my
question: if I use a 1.7 oz perfume bottle, which is 50 ml, should I use about 16 ml of the 7:3 mix and then top the
bottle off w/perfume? Or, should I strictly measure everything & not worry about filling the bottle completely?
Would this give me the same effectiveness that I\'m currently getting from my little sprayer? I use 3-4 sprays,
little ones due to the bottle size.
The main reason I want to use a bigger batch is that I\'ve already spilled
1/2 a bottle of PI/w & this would cut down on the number of times I\'d have to open bottles, thereby reducing
the spill factor. Also, I\'m lazy. I just don\'t want to constantly be mixing up little bottles.
I\'ve
gotten lucky, it\'s only taken 3 months for me to find a mix that works. So, I\'ve decided to stick with it for
awhile. Thank in advance. Randa

randa,
if that´s the ratio mix that works for you then yes, you need to measure it carefully. Otherwise you´ll end up with
a different mix that may not work as well for you and if that´s the case you´ve wasted mones as well as
perfume.
It should say on the litle bottle you used so far exactly how much it holds. If it really is 3 ml and
the 50 drops amount to a third of the bottle that´s 1 ml. From there it´s not too hard to work out how much you´ll
need for a larger batch.
And if you use a larger bottle to spray from you´re also gonna be using less sprays
too.

From what I understood she was asking about the perfume to mix ratio, but then I am very tired.

one is a crapper to get off & on. When my little bottle gets empty, I plan on measuring exactly how much it
holds. Also, since I\'m using about 4 little sprays I thought 1-2 from a larger bottle would be fine. Randa
that´s
what I was referring too
You
need to pay some attention to the ratios etc. Good work on the NPA PCC mix though. Id have some SOE in it but good
work regardless.
