DWM Rust Bluing Formula??

Yes, for liters. 118.3 ml. This is about the equivalent of 100 ccm or exactly 1/4 us Pint. Our lab measurements are in liters so I converted for what I had.

1/4 US Pint is what I should have included in the formula. Sorry. The book also included the weights in grs. But I am not sure if our powder measure grains are the same as what the author uses in the book.

For those who would like to measure rather than weigh:

1/4 US pint Distilled water

1.8 grams Copper Sulfate (this is a solid)

9.0 ml Ferric Chloride (29%)

5.15 ml Nitric Acid

3.15 ml IPA (Alcohol)

Hope this helps.
