Thanks Ron. I performed a search here and saw many different opinions of course. In hind sight, since the solution that I have was caused by humidity in the air, I will continue a dilution with distilled water.
The solution that I have is a beautiful reddish-brown which I hope to convey to a stock at some point. From reading the search results, It seems I should not have an issue if I go too far with the water dilution. I can do repeated applications to get the color that I prefer or close to it.
Live and learn....
Thanks again.
Dan
