Reduce proportions

Post by Murph »

I am going to be doing some restoring on some lights that will not need the whole amount of 12ml and 3ml. I am wondering if I can reduce the amount, but keep the same ratio. I know it sounds logical that it can be done. But the difference between logical and real world are usually far apart. I am wondering if the reduction of amount will still yield the same outcome that DeltaKits has setup (e.g - strength, setup time, pot life).

Thanks all

Sure, just reduce it proportionally and you will end with the same 4:1 ratio.

That is what I had figured. I just didnt know if there were any complications that came about by reduction.

Most of the time I use 8ml and 2ml for the majority of the lens. or 10 mil and 2 1/2.

Hi Murph,

If you have a iPhone or other device with a calculator on it...

Punch in the amount of white, then multiply by 0.25

...gives you the amount of clear.

Cheers,

Pommy
