Can I use this to sanitize? (assuming I dilute it properly) McKesson Prep Solution 16 oz.
16 oz of 10% iodine will probably last me a life time.
Anyone else here use this?
I have been reading up on iodophors and Povidone Iodine and the like and think I kind of understand.
This article helped (yes it written about a different product but I think the facts carry over). IODOPHOR
An iodophor is iodine mixed with another chemical to make it absorb better and be more useful.
Povidone Iodine is a type of iodophor.
The end result (I think) is I want this stuff mixed with water until I have 12.5 to 25 ppm of iodine.

As far as the obvious question (Why don't you just use Star San?) this is less than half the price.
Thanks for any advice.
