For 25%:
- 25% nitro
- 10% oil
- 65% methanol

For 16%:
- 16% nitro
- 10% oil
- 74% methanol

mixing per liter is wise to do with a lab-glass
- 100mL oil (or a mixture of several oils)
- 250mL nitro, mix it with the oil up to 350mL (25%)
- fill it up to 1 liter with methanol.
- use a stick to mix it
- drop it in a can through a coffee filter.
