As stated treat as a percentage ratio and pick your units.
Since from the posts so far I would believe that you are just starting.
I would like to add a comment on the comments from above. Mr. ****mizu is a
MASTER and his comment that " perchlorate can be substituted by chlorate
without
changing the color" needs be understood clearly. There will be other
factors
changed beyond color that will affect the sensitivity, in the hands of an
experienced pyre these issues are understood and will be handled in a safe
manner.
We assume that everyone knows what a star pump is or how to "roll stars"
etc. If you find terms you don't understand either ask for an explanation
or
buy lots of books, I believe a recommended reading list may be in the
achieve.
