Figuring Out Percentages

Most recipes calculate or express Germall plus as a % of a batch by weight. To work out a percentage take the size of your batch and multiply by the % required.

Example: If you are making a 1 lb batch of lotion and need to add 1% of germall plus, you should first convert 1 lb to 16 oz then multiply 16 oz by .01 (1%) which gives you 0.16 oz or 4.54 grams.
