[alt-photo] Re: Zia standard solutions

Mixing a solution can be done either way. However, if you are trying to mix
a solution of certain matching strength, it is best to follow the authors
original intent if you can follow the math. Typos do happen so if a logical
path is being laid out, say 1 of these needs 1 of those to work, make one of
these and one of those. 

"To make" is more generally the way photo chems are mixed. What ever you do,
don't do it one way this time and then the other way and randomly change it.
Be consistent. 

You may wish to do some reading on normal and molar solutions.

Jalo,
My ziatype info is from Carl himself, proofread by him as well, and from his
magazine articles, if that is any help. I don't have the ziatype book so I
can't help you there...
