Joe,
Thanks for the clarification on the concentration of BAP-10. I have never
used it myself. I assumed that BAP-10 was 10 grams per liter not 10%,
sorry. No, it would not be economical to make it yourself. You would have
to buy the chemical in bulk and invest a lot of money. The markup on small
quantities from chemical companies is enormous.
