Unequal Drop Sizes

Hi.  I'm just starting out with the initial Starting Procedure,  I got supplies from Color Tree.  The drops coming out of the sodium chlorite dropper are tiny, about ⅓ the size coming from the HCl dropper.  Should I multiply by 3 for that dropper?

Thank you.

Hello Gavin. Drop size has always been a problem due to different size drops dispensed by different droppers, the difference in solution densities, how you hold the dropper, etc. I have measured drop size differences of 100%. 

We use the standard of 20 drops to a milliliter of solution, so one drop would be 0.05ml. Using a 1ml syringe, you can accurately measure / dispense drops.
