Tanner got me my Tannerite just as promised but there are no instructions included?

How much grey to you put in the white when mixing a one pound bottle?

It came with a scooper, so one or two scoops?

Thanks

What?  No video?  It should have come with a video.

it came with a video but doesnt say what ratio to mix it in.

The box also came with a 8ml measuring spoon.  I've never mixed the one pound bottles and dont remember the 1/2 pounders either.

Its one table spoon to ever 1/2 pound right?  So that would make 2 table spoons for a one pound and four scoops with the 8ml spoon?

Are the two bottles the same size? If so I would assume its a 50/50 mix. If one bottle is smaller then I would assume its not a 50/50 mix.

Definately not the most scientific way to do it though.

defenatly not a 50/50

I've got one pound bottles of white and maybe a 1/2 or even a 1/4 pounder of grey

I THINK its going to be two table spoons to one pound, since its 1 tb to 1/2 lb

The problem is I didnt get a table spoon measuring thing I got an 8ml spoon?  So that means 4 scoops per pound right?

Then it sounds like its a 2:1 or 4:1 mix. Hell, yuo could always say screw the measureing cups and go grab the wifes measuring cups. Grab a 1/4 C, 1/3 C 1/2 C and 1 C.

Mix 1 cup with 1/4, see what happens. Continue through the range till you find the one that seems to perform the best. I personally would probably go 1 C to 1/3 C, as a 1/3 is a nice split between 1/4 and 1/2.

Like I said, its definately not scientific. If you blow your ass into a tree I aint liable.

One Tablespoon to a half pound.

Two tablespoons for one pound.

One tablespoon is approximately 20mls.

So for a one pound bottle, you would need 5 level scoops of your 8ml spoon per one pound bottle.

Thanks Reaper, thanks Specop

Although my tablespoon conversion shows 1 US tablespoon = 14.7867648 milliliters

That means I would need 3.6, or otherwise 4 scoops with the 8ml spoon.

Is my conversion totally screwed up? or are you right reaper?

Looks like Tannerite's website is down, so I can't remember what size bottles I had. Believe they were 1/2 pound, about the size of a 20oz coke bottle. Was using one level scoop per bottle with those.

Dude, if you dont know what you're talking about, please just abstain from saying anything.  You could end up wasting this guy's money and ruining his day.

Tannerite isn't a 50/50 mix.  It's more like a 96/4 mix.

One spoonfull for each bottle is all I've ever used, anymore is a waste.
