For example, if you make 1 liter of hand sanitizer, prepare at least 750 mL of 83% ethanol. 3 Distilled water • You need 12.5% of the total amount of hand sanitizer you want to make. For example, if you make 1 liter of hand sanitizer, prepare at least 125 mL of distilled water. • Glycerin You need 12.5% of the total amount of hand sanitizer you want to make. For example, if you make 1 liter of hand sanitizer, prepare at least 125 mL of glycerin. 4 Subdivision container • Choose a container with a pumped lid that is not sprayed. Spray type is used for perfumes and fragrances, and pump type is used for shampoos and lotions. (See figure) • It is recommended around 200mL for portable and 500mL for mounting How to make 1 Rinse empty bottles thoroughly and dry. 2 Mark outside the empty bottle for the total amount of hand sanitizer required. (① in the figure) 3 Mark at 1/2 position between bottom of container and ①. (② in the figure) 4 Mark at 1/2 position between ① and ②. (③ in the figure) 5 Mark at 1/2 position between ① and ③. (④ in the figure) 6 Fill with 83% ethanol to ③. 7 Fill with distilled water from ③ to ④. 8 Fill with glycerin from ④ to ①. 9 After filling the empty bottles with all the ingredients, close the lid and shake well. 10 Divide into subdivision containers for your purpose. Notes 1 Commercially available rubbing ethanol is 83% aqueous solution, not 100%. 2 Diluting 83% ethanol with distilled water and glycerin according to the combination above gives a final concentration of 62.25%. This is exactly the same concentration of gel type hand sanitizer on the market. For reference, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that hand sanitizers contain at least 60% alcohol. 3 Glycerin is added for a moisturizing effect. 4 83% ethanol, distilled water and glycerin are available at pharmacies or online stores. According to CDC, isopropyl alcohol or n-propanol can be used as a substitute if ethanol is not available. Whatever type of alcohol is used, hand sanitizers should contain 60% to 95% alcohol. 5 The expiration date is based on the shortest expiration date indicated on the materials. (Example: If the expiration date of 83% ethanol is June 1, 2021, and glycerin is December 1, 2021, the expiration date of the hand sanitizer is June 1, 2021.) ________________________________________________________________________ The highest antimicrobial efficacy can be achieved using ethanol alcohol which is (60% to 85%) effective followed by isopropanol alcohol (60% to 80%) effective, and lastly n-propanol alcohol (60% to 80%) effective.

I have heard that State of New York is having prisoners make the stuff. Now we know what Weinstein will be doing the first few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that he survived on a desert island, was wounded in Vietnam, and was almost stranded in space on the way to the moon, so this stuff should be easy. This could be the theme of one heck of a Drum Corps show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbeau Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Every Saturday night this summer FLO should broadcast the top 12 from a certain year playing the shows from 12th place to 1st place. We can all get on DCP and talk about the shows and whatever fodder comes up. FLO should also be sure to make the stream crappy at times so we can feel like its really happening live! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppycock Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 47 minutes ago, TwoValves said: Cancelling the season at this point would cost a corps well into the 6-figures range. Lots of contracts have already been signed and/or paid, merchandise ordered, non-refundable travel booked, and money paid out against the expectation of revenue coming in. Not to mention the ethics of dealing with potential refunds to members. I am fairly certain there are only a small number of orgs with enough cash reserves to withstand that kind of financial onslaught. A cancelled season is death for a number of corps. Oh well! Less corps touring might be a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this will also go a long way towards cleaning up that pesky homeless problem on both coasts! Less long-term health care costs! /slight sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Camps being rescheduled, some being cancelled. The NBA cancels because one player tested positive. Is it even reasonable to think that not a single MM would test positive right now? I wonder what DCI will do if a corps member tests positive.

Fred Windish Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Personal observation here. From reports seen and read, the pattern seems to be events taking place through April are being severely limited, or cancelled. As if, the expectation is by May, we will be closing in on normal behavior. Who can be sure, though? My point is, the Indy Finals is pretty far outside that window. However, even with a shortened season leading to Indy, events would still be negatively affected, but nothing fatal to the activity. Problems with housing, gate receipts, merchandise revenue, for sure this summer. Guessing the season status will be based on conditions in May, not before. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
