Default Discharge ink

I am just getting into using discharge ink. How do you measure out the additive powder to ink ratio? I do not have a belt dryer yet so how long would you suggest curing this?

I bought a digital scale from HarborFreight for $20. Matsui white is 6-10% agent mix.

I cure shirts in an home oven, and it helps to lift the shirt up to get some airflow going, really speeds the process up. It stinks.

Start with 5%, then add more only if needed. I've found that often it takes less agent than the manufacturer states.
