Am I understanding this calcualtor right?

I would like to try this recipe out but i'm having trouble with the calculator (I can try work % out till i'm blue in the face but just don't get it :roll: )

Recipe:

I have the Liquid Germal Plus and it says to add at 0.3 % so when I type in:

...0.3% of 400 it comes to 1.2, does that sound correct (just so I know i'm understanding what i'm supposed to be typing in) also, that 1.2 is grams? (the whole recipe is measured in grams).

the calc:

I feel so dumb for asking because you all make it look so easy when the recipes are shown in %, give me a grams or oz recipe no problem but give me % and I run the other way lol.

Yep, 1.2 grams is right Let us know how you go with this one, it looks like fun!

Thanks Becky, it does look like fun hey, i'm just about to start making it but then as I measured out the preservative I found out it doesn't measure grams in point form e.g. 1.2 grams so now i'm about to go to the online weight conversion chart and measure from grams to ounzes :roll:

I had an idea that i'm going to test out, i'm going to put a squishy imbeddible lizard in one of the jelly cups

oh nooooo it turns out that 1.2 gram = 0.042 328 754 339 ounce BUT my $100 scales only measure from 0.1 and onwards :roll:
