yes.

The process seems to work better if you pour a couple ounces and let settle 
and then pour the rest. 10 ounces per can is correct.

 As I'm a cattle rancher with a liquid nitrogen

You should! easy to do with simple procautions.

 maybe you might ad a few precautions to the method Jim?

I always hate to post a simple method using simple methods. especially after 
the BEE-L issue over using oxalic acid dribble which those which have used 
see as fairly safe mix and to use.

Keeping away from eyes , breathing and off skin with all chemicals is 
important. Even apistan, checkmite , apiguard,apilife var, menthol , formic 
acid etc.
