Just a small tip, Allen... it’s always a good practice (if you mix chemicals with water) to add the chemical to the water and not the other way around. For instance - bleach and water. This prevents the chemical from splashing back up on you, or in your face. I just wanted to share that with you (and anyone else here, that’s interested), for safety.

I ordered the exact brand (from your attached link) and followed your exact instructions (1 gallon of water 1st then add 12oz of paint). The paint is extremely light in color so you can recognize differences. I then emptied it and added the paint first then a smaller amount of water and its more green. I'm sad that I've wasted almost 1/2 of it following your instructions.
