What do you use to measure ounces when diluting?

Hi fellas,

I noticed many products require the process of diluting the product itself with water.

For example, to make clay lube you can mix one ounce of ONR with water in a 32oz. bottle. How do you know how much an ounce is? Do you guys use a measuring tool of some sort like a syringe or do you guesstimate?

I'd really like to know so that I can start using appropriate tools to make exact measures!

Thanks a bunch!

 

Is this a joke? :shead:

 

Some bottles have marking on them or you can use any measuring cup from your kitchen.

 

Autogeek.net under "what's new" 1 and 3 oz measuring tools, used by every single detailer out there, it's alittle known secret so you must be new to detailing

 

It's called a measuring cup...

 

This thread is awesome!!!

 

Cough syrup measuring cup for the dilutions that call for capfuls (.5 - 2 ozs) and I have a small measuring cup that for those larger dilutions. You could get creative and get something clear and most people have measuring spoons at home and draw lines for the different volumes you need. Lots of options here!

Shot glass for my soaps Otherwise, measurements on the spraybottles

 

walmart sells a really small measuring cup that measures up to 5 oz. Or you can always buy the HD spray bottles with the pre-measured dilution ratios.

 

I use little measuring cups like the ones for cough syrup. They are measured up to 30ml which is one ounce.

 

Same here.....

If it's a big dilution, like 3:1 I'll just fill up my an empty spray bottle to 24oz and the remaining 8oz of product. Obviously you need to pickup spray bottles that have ounce or mL markings on them.

If it's a small dilution, like 2oz I use a set of plastic measuring cups. If I have to be very very precise, I have several syringes, some of them measure up to 12mL at a time and some of them up to 60mL (2oz) at a time. Approximately 30mL per ounce.

A couple of plastic yellow funnels from AutoZone (about $1 each) are a big help when filling up spray bottles.

 

Actually.....1oz ~= 29.5735 mL...come on Ken!

 

But it was fun to call it a measuring tool lol

 

Lol thanks for the help fellas! And yes this was a serious question....

 

i use the cup of my palms placed under each other

also works for receiving holy communion at church

 

I eye the volume of the solution and the volume of the water as it goes into the container
simply by measuring the flow * the amount of time lapsed, you can also tell how much vol is going in
or you can choose to measure how many cm of liquid is going down * the width and length of the stream and come to an answer

or when i simply too tired to do mathematics, i'll just use the markings in my kwazars

 

thats actually a really good idea ankeet. i had forgotten about them since high school chemistry i think.
