It's best to try various concentrations. 10%-20% all seem to work with varying degrees of success. I'm not sure if we can post pictures but I've got several of some we made. If I can I will post them. We as a company supply these chemicals but cannot sell to individuals, only companies or schools/colleges etc...See www.prlabs.co.uk for our contact details. Not all items may be listed online so check with us if you need anything.
