 ### Preparation Steps
 
 1. **Dry the Ethanol**:
-   - Obtain a bottle of 40% or higher ethanol (vodka or similar).
-   - Place **3A molecular sieves** into the ethanol to absorb the water. Allow it to sit for **24 hours** or until the ethanol is sufficiently dried. Consider using a specific gravity meter to verify the ethanol concentration after drying to ensure it is ready for the intended application.
+   - Obtain a bottle of 40% or higher ethanol (vodka or similar, typically 750 mL).
+   - Add approximately **500-600 grams of 3A molecular sieves** to the ethanol to absorb the water content. Allow it to sit for **24 hours** or until the ethanol is sufficiently dried. This should be enough to achieve a high level of dehydration suitable for the application.
+   - Use a **specific gravity meter** to verify the ethanol concentration. The goal is to achieve an ethanol concentration of around **99%** to ensure it is suitable for the intended application.
 
 2. **Prepare the Wax and Oil Blend**:
    - In a **double boiler**, add **8 parts tung oil** and **1 part beeswax**.
