Curtis,
You know how I am about defining terms. A drop has a specific definition. 1 drop=0.05 ml. 1 ml=20 drops.
I think I could get a dollup, or a dab out of my paste.. then diameter and thickness would be important.. 🙂 Just playing with you… of course!
In any case, I have not found the place on the WEPS site where I read a few years back to use an inch long strip. Regardless, I now can say, from experience, that this is way too much. Though I did try it, I did not like the results, at all.
My intent now is to put enough pasts on for a THIN coat applied in a reasonably uniform manner. Whatever that takes. I typically start with less, maybe a dollup 👿
or two, and add as I go to get the results that I want. In the interest of getting a uniform coating, I have over applied paste and scraped to get the even coat that I want. This might be considered a waste, but it gets me where I want to be. I have a piece of cardboard with the scrapings on it. It works OK for a quick touch up of the edge in the “field”.
Leo,
Maybe you didn’t see my post after Curtis’. I did say that 20% is likely too much. That will teach me to try to put any difinitive numbers out there… by guestimating from memory. So we can say that the consensus is that using 20% of the tube in one application would be excessive.
