howdy ya'll,

great place here with TONS of info. sure this probably a stupid question for some.

 

if you buy product X by the gallon and use an 8oz. per gallon ratio no problem

but if you buy product X in a one pound box of powder, is the 8 oz per gallon ratio, 8 oz. by weight or by volume?

 

clear as mud eh?  

 

TIA,

ScoCar

In this Industry, when dealing with mixes it's generally ounces to gallon ratio's.

thanks for the reply John, what I'm asking is when mixing powder, and the ratio is oz's per gallon is that oz's by weight or volume?

p.s. if you take a plastic container, and put it on a scale, you can calibrate that to true zero. The, fill the appropriate number of OZ incrementally, tap the container so the contents are level, and mark the container with a marker to the fill line. Viola, you have a container to measure by weight when you are on the job site.
